HONEYSUCKLE FAMILY i8i 



Honeysuckle which are found in the United 

 States, as well as the Hobble-bush, Cranberry- 

 tree, Elder and various other well-known shrubs. 

 The Twin-flower is a northern species, inhab- 

 iting cool woods not only in the northern regions 

 of North America but also those of northern 

 Europe and northern Asia. Although the flowers 

 develop into a rounded three-celled fruit, only 

 one of the cells bears a seed. The plants run 

 along the ground in a way suggestive of our 

 familiar Partride^e Vine. 



— beneath dim aisles in odorous beds, 

 The slight Linnaea hangs its twin-born heads. 



Ralph JValdo Emerson.
