A native of the north-west coast of North America, 

 where it was found abundantly by Mr. David Douglas, in 

 the neighbourhood of Fort Vancouver. 



It is a hardy, deciduous, twining shrub, with very orna- 

 mental orange-coloured flowers, but not good foliage ; that 

 is to say, the leaves have, when in greatest health, a grayish 

 appearance, and if at all sickly, which they are apt' to be, 

 acquire an unpleasing yellowish hue. It flowers abund- 

 antly in June, July, and August. In stature, and also in 

 the cultivation it requires, it resembles the common Honey- 

 suckle, but is more tender.
