Plants, in the London nurseries, are 1s. each; at Bollwyller, 1 franc; and 
at New York, 37% cents. 
L. microphglia Hook. FI. Bor. Amer., 1. p. 283., is a provisional name, given to some dried spe- 
cimens received from the north-west coast of America, by Sir W. J. Hooker, but which had neither 
flowers nor fruit, and may, possibly, therefore, belong to some other genus. The leaves are scarcely 
more than 6 lines long, uniform, exactly cordate, and very villous.

Spec. Char., §c. Quite glabrous. Leaves persist- aj 
ent, sub-evergreen, obovate or ovate, glaucous 
beneath; upper ones connately perfoliate. 
Spikes nearly naked, composed of whorls of 
flowers ; tube of corolla ventiicose on the 
upper side ; limb nearly regular, with 5 round- 
ish lobes. Branches brown. Leaves deep 
green above, 2in. long and 1 in. broad. 
Whorls of flowers usually 3, at the top of each 
branch. Flowers of a beautiful scarlet outside, 
and yellow inside, about 1 in. long, inodorous. 
There are several varieties of this species, par- 
ticularly one with an almost upright stem. 
(Don’s Mill. iti. p.446.) A twining shrub, 
native of North America, from New York to 
Carolina, in dry stony woods. Introduced in 
1656, and flowering from May till August. 
The fine scarlet flowers of this species, and 
the length of time during which they are pro- 
duced, render it a very desirable one ; but it 
is somewhat tender, and rather capricious in 
regard to situation. It will not thrive in clayey or wet soil; neither in the 
smoke of cities, nor in a confined situation. It grows well in sand, but still 
better in sandy peat. It succeeds but indifferently in the London nurseries ; 
and the metropolitan trade is generally supplied from the Goldworth 
Nursery, where it grows luxuriantly, and is propagated by layers to a great 
extent. Price of plants,in London, ls. 6d. each. ; at Bollwyller, 1 franc and 
50 cents; and at New York, 373 cents. 
Varieties. 
£ L.s.2 major Ait., Curt. Bot. Mag., 1781., 
Schmidt Baum., t. 104. The large Trum- 

pet Honeysuckle. — Leaves roundish, 
and flowers very large, and of a brilliant 
scarlet. 
£ L. s.3 minor Ait., Sims. Bot. Mag., 1753. ; 
Ker Bot. Reg., t. 556.; L. connata 
Meerb. Icon., t.11? The small Trumpet 
Honeysuckle. — Leaves oblong, acute at 
both ends; upper ones obtuse, perfoliate: 
with small flowers, which are scarlet both 
outside and inside. This is an elegant “/ 
climbing shrub, but it can only be re- ~¢ 
commended for open airy situations in /4 
the country; and the soil in which it is “—*~/ 807 
planted ought to be occasionally stirred and manured.
