This is an exceedingly ornamental and at the same time a most 
interesting species of the genus Lonicera, which finds its greatest 
than fifty or sixty species. J. calcarata is remarkable in having the 
hollow stems and 5 velled ovary of a Salas associated with a long- 
spurred corolla, which is represented only by a more or less pronounced 
gibbosity in other species.— W, Bortinc HEmsLey
