In hedges, groves and thickets, common, 



j6. 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 sinuated, like these 

 of an oak, and variegated. Heads ofjlowers all terniinal, ovate, 

 most fragrant in an evening, Cal. distinctly 5 -toothed. Cor. 

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

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

 J5emes nearly globular, deep red, bitter and nauseous; often 

 roughish -, accompanied by permanent bractcas. 



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 



'^ So doth the woodbine, the sweet honeysucklcj. 

 Gently entwist the maple."
