HONEYSUCKLE FAMILY. CAPRI FOLIACE.II P.ext. 



Trees, shrubs, vines, and i)erennial herbs of about 2(!() si)ecies and grouped in ten genera. 



They are most abundant in the north temperate zone, but a few extend into the troi)ics and 



the southern hemisjihere. 



Leaves opposite, petiolate. involute in the bud and mostly without stipules. Flowers regu- 

 lar, perfect, and in terminal compound cymes; calyx-tube adnate to the ovary with H-toothed 

 limb ; corolla .">-lobed and sometimes 2-lipped ; stamens .">. ins(>rted on the tube of the corolla, 

 and alternate with its lobes, exserted, with slender free filaments; anthers oblong, introrse. 

 2-celled, longitudinally dehiscent : ovary inferior. l-(vcelled with short style and 3-.l-lobed capi- 

 tate stigma ; ovules solitary, anatropons and suspended from the apex of the cell. Fruit a 

 1-0-celled drupe, capsule or berry ; seeds with membranous coat, minute embryo and copious 

 albumen. 



THE NANNY-BERRIES, ETC. Genus \'IP.URNUM L. 



Shrubs and small trees with tough branches of nearly 100 species widely distributed in 

 north temperate regions and a few in tin' tropics. Several species are important on account 

 of their ornamental flowers niid fiiiil. About ~~> are natives of North America, all shrubby 

 except three, which are small trees of I he .\tlantic states. 



Leaves deciduous, generally without stipules and th.> first pair rudimentary; petioles 

 broad; buds large and enveloi)e(l with a single i)air of scales. Floirers white or rarely pink, 

 in terminal or axillary compound cymes with minut(> caducous bracts and bractlels. the outer 

 flowers sometimes radiant and neutral ; calyx with tubinale tube and stout ."(-toothi'd limb, 

 I)ersistent in the fruit: corolla rotate with .") si)reading and finally reflexed lobes; ovary 1-celled, 

 inferior, with short conical style. .'Mobed and stigmatic at ajH'x. Fruit an oblong or s ib- 

 globose and sometimes flattened drupe with thin sweet or acidulous tl(>sh and a single stone 

 which in the American species is dark brown, coriaceous and much flattened. 



The name is ancient Tat in name of one of the Kuroiiean sj)ecies.
