the base on one 
side. Filaments ra- 
ther hairy. Flowers 
yellow, and smaller 
than in any of the

but varying exceed- 
ingly in their co-

variety mentioned by Michaux in which they are purple. (Don’s Miil,, iii.

serted. Stamens enclosed. Corollas pubescent, bilabiate, deep orange red. Leaves 4in. to 6in. 
long, deep green. (Don’s Miil., iii. p. 446.) Hooker, in his Fl. Bor. Amer., 1. p. 282., considers this 
nothing but a variety of L. parvifldra. It isa twining shrub, a native of the western coast of North 
America, on the banks of the Saskatchawan. Introduced in 1824, and flowering in July and Sep- 
tember. We have never seen the plant.

Spec. Char., §c. Branches twining. Leaves permanent,

York, on the mountains, rambling among rocks, in shady 
moist situations, but rare. Introduced in 1730, and 
flowering from June or July to September, and some- 
times till the commencement of frost. The plant is of 
vigorous growth, with woody stems, and will live longer 
than most of the other species. A plant against our 
veranda at Bayswater has stood since 1825, and is now in 
full vigour; having outlived L. Caprifolium, L. flavum, 
L. pubéscens, L. sempervirens, some varieties of L.
