4. Eunemiiitn Raf. cal. Sdent. cor. bilabi- 

 ate 4-1, tube filiform very long, flowers gemi- 

 nate as in Xylosteon. This also might be a 

 Genus. The type is C. longiflorum of Nipal, 

 Lindl. b. reg. 1232, with leaves petiolate oblong 

 lanceolate acute smooth, fl. axill. pcdunc ber- 

 ries white, honicera gUibrata belongs to it 

 perhaps, although the tube is short. 



Meantime my G. Distegia has 2 types, Lo- 

 nicera ledebouril and mvolucrata, which is 

 my.

 do. Loudon, Lonicera do Hooker bot. mag. 2469. 

 Leaves cordate ovate petiolate acute concolor 

 smooth ; peduncles axillary biflore, berries dis-

 petiolate ovate and obovate, lobate or entire, 

 obtuse and acute, upper elliptical, flowers glo- 

 merate terminal naked, berries white — from

 inches long, acuminate serrate, base subcor-
