A very rare hardy shrub, discovered by Mr. Douglas 

 in the woods of North West America. It is quite different 

 from all the other honeysuckles, and is nearly scentless. 



It will not readily grow more than two or three feet 

 high, and seems as if it preferred lying prostrate to twining 

 round other plants. In common soil it can scarcely be kept 

 alive, but in peat and loam it grows as readily as any other 

 hardy American plant. 



Our drawing was made in the garden of the Horticultural 

 Society in July hist.
