144 WILSON EXPEDITION TO CHINA 



Allied to L. hispida Pallas, which differs chiefly in the larger winter-buds, in the 

 absence of the glandular pubescence on the leaves, bracts and branchlets, in the 

 larger corolla only sparingly hairy outside, in the filaments being longer than the 

 anthers and in the pilose style. Lonicera nubigena Render, distributed under the 

 same number, is easily distinguished by its much shorter corolla, the tube being 

 only 1 cm. long, the anthers not exceeding the mouth and the style only half as 

 long as the tube: it is a lower and more densely branched shrub and more alpine 

 in its general aspect than L. montigena.

The form from Corea which I recently described as L. leptantha cannot be spe- 

 cifically separated from L. Tatarinovii, as a comparison with good flowering material 

 recently received from Chili shows; it is hardly different enough to be separated 

 as a variety. The ovaries of the species are usually two- thirds connate, occasion- 

 ally only at the base, and the bractlets are connate into a cupula, not distinct, as 

 stated hi my Synopsis of the genus.
