bone. 



Sect. Char., $c. Pedicels axillary, 2-flowered, bibracteate at the apex. Berries 

 twin, distinct, or joined together more or less ; 3-celled in the young state; 

 rarely 2- celled in the adult state. The limb of the calyx is generally de- 

 ciduous, therefore the fruit is usually not crowned. (Don's Mill.) Climb- 

 ing or erect shrubs, deciduous, with leaves never connate. Of the easiest 

 culture, and extremely hardy. 



A. Ovaries and Berries altogether distinct. Stems twining. Flowers irregular.

Spec. Char., $c. Branches twining, pubescent. 

 Leaves ovate, acute, rounded at the base,

 something like a thyrse at the tops of the 

 branches. Calycine segments ovate, and, as 

 well as the corollas, pubescent. The flowers 

 are snow-white at first, but gradually change 

 to a golden yellow colour ; hence it is called 

 Suikadsara and Kinginqua, that is gold and 

 silver flowers, by the Japanese. Corolla about 

 an inch long, bilabiate. (Don's Mill.) A de- 

 ciduous twining shrub. Japan, China, and the Himalayas. Stem 10 ft. to
