CAPRIFOETACEA. 
LONICERA CHINENSIS. 
Hooker. Botanical Mag., tab. 3316. 
Loudon, v. 2, 1051. 
(Generally known in gardens as Lonitcera Lonicera 
“Aa a PAD: Chinensis 
flexuosa ; but according to Sir W. Hooker it is not 
the plant so named by Thunberg. 
All that Loudon says of the beauty and fragrance 
of this plant is fully justified; but it is not perfectly 
hardy ; the young shoots, and tips of the branches 
are apt to be killed by sharp frosts. 
WEIGELIA ROSEA. 
Lindley, in Horttcultural Society’s Fournal, v. 1, 
pp. 65 and 189, plate 6. 
Discovered by Mr. Fortune in the Island of Weigelia 
Chusan, where however it was cultivated, not | 
indigenous ; introduced by him to the Horticultural 
Society’s gardens, distributed from thence in 1845 
and subsequent years, and now very common in 
our gardens. A deciduous bushy shrub, quite 
hardy, in moderately sheltered situations, and 
very beautiful when in flower. Very well described 
by Fortune and Lindley in the places above 
quoted in the Horticultural Soctety’s Fournal, and 
well figured.
