Leaves 3 to 5 cm. loiii^ ami 1.5 to 3 cm. wide, smooth above, slightly glaucous 

 beneath, uot tiliate, guuerally ouly the ui>i)er iiair connate; corolla about 1..") cm. 

 long, pul>esceut on the outside, strongly gibbose at the base of the tube, yellow, 

 changing into reddish; stem smooth; bark lirst green, afterwards grayish straw- 

 colored, more or less shreddy. 



It ditlers from the true L. hirsnta in the smaller leaves, which are perfectly smooth 

 above and decidedly glaucous beneath (in L. hirsula they are seldom glaucous), in the 

 coroUa, which is more gibbose, and in the smooth aud shreddy stem. It may be a 

 distinct species. It resembles somewhat L. glaucu, from which it diftors in the longer, 

 hairy, and gibbose corolla. It is sometimes a low shrub, sometimes high-cljmbiiig. 

 The only .sijecimen in the National Herbarium, exeejjt those from the Black Hills,

 In tlie herbarium of Harvard University are the following specimens: In Dr. Gray's 

 collections, a fragmentary one labeled ' Lonicera donglasii Fl. Bor. Am. Hooker misit 

 January, 1835;" and another labeled '' L. hirsula var. donglabii Hooker approaching 

 ylauva.'' The others were probably received later, as there are no indications that 

 Dr. Gray had ever studied them, \\z: Lonicera glanca Hill, Agricultural College,
