the roots spread carefully out in every direction, the shoots will cover 
several square yards of wall the first summer, and flower abundantly. 
a. Hardy Species of Lonicera belonging to the Division Nintoda of the Section 
Xylosteum, not yet introduced. 
L. cochinchinénsis Don’s Mill., iii. p. 447.; L. Xylésteum Lour.; is a twining 
shrub, with a much-branched stem, and ovate leaves, a native of Cochin- 
China, among bushes and hedges. 
L. Telfairii Hook et Arn., Don’s Mill, iii. p. 447.; L. Periclymenum Lour. ; 
is a native of China, closely allied, on the one hand, to L. confisum Dec., 
from which it differs in the leaves being smooth above, and in the shorter 
peduncles; and, on the other, to L. Lechenadlti Wall., which, however, is 
said to have ovate-subcordate ciliated leaves, and villous branches. 
L. Lechenailtii Wall., Don’s Miil., iii. p.447., has twining stems, axillary 
flowers, and is found on the Neellgherry Mountains. 
L. glabrata Wall., Don’s Mill. iii. p.447.; L. nigra Thund.; is a native of 
Nepal, with twining branches and ovate leaves, glaucous beneath. 
L. acuminata Wall., Don’s Mill., iii. p. 447., is a native of the Himalayas, 
with twining stems, and flowers like those of L. Xylésteum. 
L. diversifilia Wall., Don’s Mill, iii. p.448., is a native of the East Indies, 
on Mount Gurval, with twining branches, and flowers resembling those of L. 
Xylésteum, both in size and colour. The leaves are ovate and cuspidate, and 
about 3 in. long, pubescent above, and villous beneath. 
L. ligtstrina Wall., Don’s Mill., iii. p.448.; Xylosteum Jigistrinum D. 
Don.; X. Naisica Hamilt.; is a native of Nepal, on the mountains and in the 
woods, with the branches slender, twining, and covered with ash grey, shining, 
smooth bark, and leaves like those of the privet. 
L. lanceolata Wall., Don’s Mill., iii. p.448., is an erect, bushy shrub, with 
berries about the size and colour of black currants; a native of Nepal, at Go- 
sainthan. 
L. canéscens Schousb., Don’s Mill., iii. p. 448. ; L. biflora Desf.; is a native 
of hedges about Mogador, on Mount Trara in Mauritania, and of Sicily, 
neor Palermo, with twining branches, which, with the leaves, are canescent 
from down. The flowers are in peduncles, which are longer than the petioles, 
and the corolla is velvety on the outside. 
L. bracteata Royle Ilust., p. 237., has the leaves ovate-lanceolate, the pe- 
duncles axillary and 2-flowered, with broad foliaceous bracteas, which, before 
the expansion of the flowers, half conceal the flower buds. Mr. Royle re- 
marks that this is a singular species, so closely allied to Leycestéria, that it 
might almost be referred to that genus. 
The names of several other species of Lonicera are given in Royle’s Jilus- 
trations, as found in the Himalayas; but none of them, except those already 
mentioned, are described in published works, or introduced into British 
gardens. 
B. Berries distinct, or usually connate together at the Base, and diverging at 
the Tip. Corolla hardly gibbous at the Base, or equal. — Chamecérasi Dec. 
Derivation. The name signifies akind of false cherry: the fruit of some of the species resemble 
cherries. (Dec. Prod., iv. p. 335.)
