Shrub. June, July, to October.

 branches. Leaves of a darker green, all distinct, sometimes 

 downy ; glaucous beneath ; by the sea side occasionally more 

 glaucous, and rather succulent ; in variety /3 sinuated, like those 

 of an oak, and variegated. Heads of flowers ail terminal, ovate, 

 most fragrant in an evening. Cal. distinctly 5 -toothed. Cor. 

 externally deep red ; or in the earlier-flowering varieties nil over 

 bufl^-coloured ; in the maritime plant smaller, and greenish. 

 Berries nearly globular, deep red, bitter and nauseous j often 

 roughish ; accompanied by permanent bracleas. 



A favourite plant in gardens and shrubberies. The true Woodbine 

 of poets, though likewise tlie " Twisted Eglantine" of Milton. 

 Notwithstanding Curtis's imperfect quotation, Shakspear is 

 g-uiltless of this blunder. He says 



" So doth the woodbine, the sweet honeysuckle. 

 Gently entwist the maple."
