/3. In a wood near Kimberley, Norfolk. Mr. Woodward. 



Shrub. June, July, to October. 



Stem twining and climbing, as in the foregoing, with opposite 

 branches. Leaves of a darker green, all distinct, sometimes 

 downy ; glaucous beneath ; by the sea side occasionally more 

 glaucous, and rather succulent -, in variety |3 sinwated, like those 

 of an oak, and variegated. Heads oi flowers all terminal, ovate, 

 most fragrant in an evening. Cat. distinctly 5 -toothed. Cor. 

 externally deep red ; or in the earlier-flowering varieties all over 

 buff-coloured ; in the maritime plant smaller, and greenish. 

 Berries nearly globular, deep red, bitter and nauseous 5 often 

 roughish j accompanied by permanent bracteas. 



A favourite plant in gardens and shrubberies. The true Woodbine 

 of poets, though likewise the " Twisted Eglantine" of Milton. 

 Notwithstanding Curtis's imperfect quotation, Shakspear is 

 guiltless of this blunder. He says 



a So doth the woodbine, the sweet honeysuckle, 

 Gently entwist the maple."
