racter he assigns to his Caprifolium japonicum ; and we 

 feel doubts whether his C. macranthum is essentially dif- 

 ferent from the true C. japonicum of Thunberg ; it certainly 

 is not from that of the Flora Indica. The Nipalese speci- 

 mens are more vigorous than those of our Gardens, and 

 hirsute rather than tomentose ; the leaves are also more 

 elliptical : but these characters are scarcely sufficient to 

 distinguish a species. 



It is a native of China, whence plants were sent to the 

 Horticultural Society by Mr. Reeves, in 1826. A hardy, 

 climbing shrub, flowering from July to September.
