high, native of North-west America, between lat. 54° and 64° (but pro- 
bably confined to the vicinity of the Saskatchawan) ; thence to the Rocky 
Mountains. It was introduced in 1824, and flowers in May. 
a. Hardy Species of Lonicera belonging to the Division Cuphanthe of the

L. Mociniana Dec., L. gibbdsa Moc. et Sesse, is a native of Mexico, very nearly allied to the 
preceding species, but differs in the corolla being yellowish, and, when decaying, of a blood colour, 
permanent, and jagged, with the bracteas spreading. The berries are globose, and of a dark purple. 
L. Ledebourii Eschsch., Don’s Mill., 3. p.449. A native of California, so nearly allied to L. involu- 
crata, as hardly to be distinguishable from it. 
D. Berries two on each Peduncle, joined together in one, which is bi-umbilicate 
at the Apex. Erect branching Shrubs.—Isikee Adans. 
Derivation.- A name, the origin of which is unknown, employed by Adanson to designate this
