CAPRirOLIACE^. 347 



Kell. Proc. Calif. Acad. ii. 154. ? Stouter, 5—15 ft. high, often with the 

 very long sarmentose branches reclining on or half climbing over other 

 shrubs or small trees: leaves of firmer texture than in the last, and more 

 hairy : corolla more strongly gibbous at base, strictly salverform above 

 the gibbosity, the short rounded lobes spreading abruptly, the whole 

 almost scarlet without, yellow within. — Very common along streams 

 almost throughout western California, ranging far northward, and also 

 extending into the mountains of Arizona; the habit of the shrub, and 

 more especially its very different corolla, marking it as distinct from 

 C. involucratum. Feb. — May. 



* * Stems usually more or less tivining; upper leaves often connate-per- 

 foliate; fl. sessile in spiked whorls at the ends of the branches; corolla 

 1 in. long, mostly bilabiate. — Capbifolium proper. 



5. C. ciliosuin, Pursh, Fl. i. 160 (1814); Poir, Encycl. v. 612 (1804), 

 under Lonicera: C. occidentale, Lindl. Bot. Keg. t. 1457. Usually 

 depressed, only a foot or two high, and almost prostrate : leaves ovate or 

 oval, glaucous beneath, usually ciliate, otherwise glabrous, the upper- 

 most one or two pairs connate into an orbicular or elliptical disk: whorl 

 of flowers usually 1 only, rarely 2 or 3: corolla glabrous or sparingly 

 pilose-pubescent, crimson-scarlet without, yellow within, ventricose- 

 gibbous below; the limb slightly bilabiate; lower lobe 3 — 4 lines long. — 

 In the Sierra at middle altitudes or lower, and far northward and east- 

 ward. A small but very beautiful species. June — Aug. 



6. C. hispiduluui, Lindl. Bot. Reg. t. 1761 (1835), var. Californicuni. 



Lonicera Californica, T. & G. Fl. ii. 7 (1841): L. hispidala, var. vacillans, 

 Gray. Twining, 10 — 25 ft. high, the ultimate branches often a yard or 

 two in length and drooping, hispidulous and somewhat glandular as to 

 the upper portion and about the inflorescence; leaves ovate-oblong or 

 elliptical, acutish, 1 — 3 in. long, the lower pairs without stipules, the 

 intermediate with broadly ovate stipular appendages often J^ in. long 

 and as broad, the one or two floral pairs connate, all very glaucous 

 beneath, pale and glaucescent above, thickish but hardly subcoriaceous: 

 spikes 1 — 5, each with 3 — 6 whorls of pink flowers; corolla hispidulous, 

 3^ — % in. long; anthers exserted, narrowly linear, 2}^ lines long: berries 

 crimson. — Common in moist ravines and on shady banks, climbing over 

 small trees, along the seaboard only; very beautiful in flower. The 

 Oregouian type of the species is much smaller, seldom or never twining, 

 and with strongly ciliate leaves, even the uppermost small and distinct. 



7. C. interruptum, Greene. Benth. PI. Hartw. 313 (1849), under 

 Lonicera. L. hispidtila, var. inlerrnpla, Gray. Stoutish, erect and 

 bushy, 4 — 7 ft. high, less disposed to twine or climb; bark of branches 

 white and almost shining, glabrous : leaves of a very pallid hue, white- 

 glaucous beneath, glaucescent above, 1 in. or more in breadth, mostly
