LONICERA 





20. longiflora, DC. Climbing shrub, glabrous: Ivs. 

 oblong-lanceolate, shining above, pale beneath, 2-2% in. 

 long: fls. in short-peduncled pairs, sometimes crowded 

 towards the end of branches; corolla white, changing 

 to yellow, fragrant, 3-4 in. long, with very slender tube : 

 bracts small, subulate: fr.white. S.China. B.R. 15:1232 

 (as Caprifolium longiflora). Tender. Int. 1900, by

21. Hildebrandiana, Coll. & Hemsl. Climbing shrub, 

 glabrous: Ivs. broadly ovate or elliptic-ovate, abruptly 

 pointed, 4-6 in. long: fls. on stout peduncles; corolla

 to orange-red, with long and slender tube. Summer. 

 Upper Burma. G. C. III. 24:219. B. M. 7677. This has 

 the largest flowers of any species, but is not hardy 

 North.

 the branchlets, forming terminal spikes or clus- 

 ters: upper Ivs. mostly connate, usually climb- 

 ing. (Caprifolium.)

 inside except No. 27: corolla never bright yellow.

 white, usually carmine or purple outside and glandular 

 pubescent, l%-2 in. long. June-Sept. Eu., N. Afr., W. 

 Asia. Var. Belgica, Ait. Of more vigorous growth, 

 sometimes shrubby: fls. bright red outside; blooming 

 all summer. Probably var. sem- 



p6rflorens, Hort., figured inGn.

 ing: Ivs. broadly oval to obovate, 

 usually obtuse, the upper ones 

 connate into an oval obtuse 

 disk, rarely distinct, 1-3 in.

 duncled, often in 3's: corolla yellowish white, 

 usually tinged red, fragrant, 1^-2 in. long, with

 many different forms. Var. gigantea, Hort. Of vigor- 

 ous growth, with large pubescent leaves.

 tic or oblong-elliptic, acute, almost sessile, the upper 

 pairs connate, glaucous beneath, glabrous, about 2 in. 

 long: fls. in peduncled spikes with few somewhat re- 

 mote whorls, purple outside and sparingly glandular, 

 1K-2 in. long: bractlets about half as long as ovary. 

 Origin unknown, probably garden hybrid of L. Etriisca 

 and an American species.

 upper whorls without connate Ivs. at the base, somewhat 

 crowded: fls. yellowish, usually purple outside andgla- 

 brous, fragrant, to 2 in. long : bractlets about half as 

 long as ovary, smaller on the upper fls. June- Aug. Pro- 

 bably hybrid of L. Etrusca and L. Caprifolium, much 

 cultivated, mostly under the name of the latter. Gn. 45, 

 p. 307 (as L. Etrusca and L. Caprifolium)', 54, p. 26.
