 shrub with spreading branches: branchlets usually 

 slightly pubescent: Ivs. ovate to ovate-oblong, obtusish 

 or acute, usually truncate at the base, slightly pubescent 

 beneath or nearly glabrous, 1-2 in. long: peduncles 



about % in. long; bractlets nearly orbicular to ovate,

 June; fr. in July, Aug. Garden origin. 



24. n6tha, Zabel (L. Ruprechtiana x L. tatdrica). 

 Upright, strong-growing shrub: branchlets glabrous or 



2201. Lonicera Korolkovii. 



2202. Lonicera Xylosteum. (X%). No. 30. 



nearly glabrous; Ivs. ovate to ovate-lanceolate, rarely 

 elliptic, acuminate, rounded or truncate at base, slightly

25. muendeniensis, Rehd. (L. bella x L. Ruprechti- 

 ana). Upright shrub: branchlets pubescent: Ivs. ovate 

 to ovate-lanceolate, acuminate, rounded or narrowed at 

 the base, dark green above, pubescent beneath, 1^~3 

 in. long: bracts about as long as ovary; bractlets broadly 

 ovate, one-third to one-half as long as ovary, ciliate: 

 corolla white or yellowish white or sometimes slightly

 filaments pubescent below the middle: fr. red. May, 

 June; fr. in July, Aug. Garden origin. Gt. 42, p. 101 

 (figs. 4-6). 



26. Ruprechtiana, Regel. Shrub, to 12 ft. : Ivs. ovate- 

 lanceolate to lanceolate, acuminate, usually dark green 

 above, grayish pubescent beneath, 2-4 in. long: fls. on 

 rather long peduncles, pure white at first, glabrous out- 

 side; bractlets only glandular-ciliate, small, about one- 

 third of the ovary: fr. red or sometimes yellow. May,

 Zabel (L. gibbiflora, Dipp.) Fls. smaller, yellowish: fr. 

 yellow. Var. calvescens, Rehd. Lvs. almost glabrous 

 except hairy nerves on under side. This species and 

 L. Morrowii are likely to hybridize with L. tatarica; 

 these hybrids are very common, and may be recognized 

 by the glabrescent foliage and the tinge of pink in the 

 fls. The true L. Ruprechtiana is much rarer in gar- 

 dens than its hybrids. 



27. muscaviensis, Rehd. (L. Morrowii x L. Ru- 

 prechtiana). Upright shrub with spreading branches: 

 branchlets pubescent: Ivs. ovate to oblong-ovate, acumi- 

 nate, dark green and sparingly pubescent above, densely

 long as ovary: corolla white, upper lip upright, divided 

 to somewhat below the middle; filaments glabrous: fr. 

 bright red. Garden origin. Gt. 42, p. 101 (figs. 1-3). 



28. minutifldra, Zabel (L. micranthoides x L. Mor- 

 rowii). Upright shrub with spreading branches: 

 branchlets puberulous: Ivs. ovate-oblong to oblong, 

 obtuse, acutish or short-acuminate, sparingly pubes- 

 cent below, %-l}^ in. long: bractlets ovate-oblong,
