first, but gradually change to a golden yellow .x 
colour; hence it is called Suikadsara and Kin- 
ginqua, that is gold and silver flowers, by the 
Japanese. Corolla about an inch long, bilabiate. 
(Don’s Mill., iii. p. 447.) A twining shrub, 
native of Japan, China, and the Himalayas. 
Introduced in 1805, and flowering in July. It 
is somewhat tender; nevertheless, it will grow 
and flower freely against an open wall in the 
neighbourhood of London; and the extraordi- 
nary fragrance of its flowers, which are pro- 
duced in the greatest abundance, well entitles it 
to a place in every collection. A plant has stood against a wall in the 
Horticultural Society’s Garden since 1828.

Mill. iti. p. 447.) A twining 
shrub. A native of China, Japan, 
and the Himalayas. Introduced 
in 1806, and flowering in July and 
September. This is, perhaps, the 
most valuable species of the genus, 
next to the indigenous one. It is 
evergreen, apparently as hardy as 
the common woodbine, and of far more robust habit of growth; and, 
probably, a much longer-lived plant. Its flowers, which are produced 
for several months together, are exceedingly fragrant; and, by pruning 
and watering, it may be kept in flower in the open garden from April 
to November, and in a conservatory throughout the year. No garden 
whatever, whether large or small, should be without this species. Plants, 
in the London nurseries, are ls. each ; at Bollwyller, 3 francs ; andat New 
York, 1 dollar. Plants in pots are much to be preferred, though they are 
one half dearer ; because, if they are turned out into a large mass of pre- 
pared light rich soil, and placed against a wall, the ball being broken, and
