Islands, and of Sicily; where it forms a twining evergreen shrub, flowering 
from June to September. It was introduced in 1772, and is not unfrequent 
in British gardens ; but, in situations north of London, it requires the pro- 
tection of a wall.

Spec. Char., §c. Quite glabrous. Branches 
twining a little. Leaves ovate, sometimes 
glaucous beneath, with cartilaginous mar- 
gins; upper leaves connately perfoliate. 
Flowers in terminal verticillate heads. 
Corollas rather ringent ; with oblong, ob- 
tuse, lobes. Flowers bright yellow, but, 
as they fade, becoming orange-coloured ; 
very fragrant. (Don’s Mill., iii. p. 445.) 
A twining shrub; a native of the Paris 
Mountains, in South Carolina; and of the 
Catskill Mountains, New York. It was 
introduced in 1810, and flowers in June 
and July. It is a very desirable species, 
from the large size, rich yellow colour, 
and grateful fragrance of its flowers ; but 
it is somewhat tender, and, even in the 801 
neighbourhood of London, requires the protection of a wall.

Spec. Char., §c. Branches twining. Leaves broad- 
ovate-elliptic, on short petioles, pubescent and cili- 
ated, glaucous beneath; upper ones connately 
perfoliate. Spikes or racemes composed of ver- 
ticillate heads of flowers. Corollas beset with 
glandular pubescence. Flowers yellow. (Don’s 
Mil., iii. p.445.) This appears to hold the place 
in the more northern parts which L. flava does in 
the south; of which, indeed, Dr. Torrey suspects 
it to be a variety. (Hook. Fl. Bor. Amer., p. 282.) 
A twining shrub, anative of North America, in a 
Massachusetts, Vermont, New York, and Canada, * 
in many places. Introduced in 1822, by Mr. Goldie 
of Monkswood, near Ayr; and flowering in June 
and July. It appears hardier than the preceding 
sort. In 1831, im Ayrshire, we saw several plants 

y 802 
of it against garden walls, growing as vigorously as the common honeysuckle.
