 L. albiflora, Torr. & Gray. Wholly glabrous, or with minute soft pubescence, bushy, also

-I — -I — -i — Tube of corolla only quarter-inch long, equalled by the limb, gibbous, more or less 

 hairy within : Pacific species. 



L. hispid/Ilia, Dougl. Bushy and sarmentose, often feebly twining : leaves small (inch or 

 so in length, or the largest 2£ inches), oval, or from orbicular to oblong, rounded at both 

 ends, or lower and short-petioled ones sometimes subcordate, uppermost connate or occa- 

 sionally distinct : spikes slender, commonly paniculate, of few or several whorls of flowers : 

 corolla from pink to yellowish, barely half-inch long : filaments and especially style more 

 or less pubescent at base. — Dougl. in Lindl. Bot. Reg. t. 1761 (the latter figured and pub-

 (var. Douglasii, Gray, 1. c.) is hirsute or pubescent with spreading hairs, disposed to climb : 

 lower leaves mostly short-petioled and inclined to subcordate, not rarely a foliaceous stipule- 

 like appendage between the petioles on. each side : inflorescence and pink corollas glabrous. 

 — Wooded region of Brit. Columbia to Oregon, first coll. by Douglas. 



Var. vacillans, Gray, 1. e. Stem and leaves either glabrous or pubescent, with or

 otherwise like the Oregon type. — L. Californica, Torr. & Gray, Fl. ii. 7 ; Benth. PI.

Var. subspicata, Gray, 1. c. Bushy, more or less pubescent or glandular-pubescent

 uppermost commonly distinct : stipule-like appendages rare. — L. subspicata, Hook. & Arn. 

 Bot. Beech. 349 ; Torr. & Gray, 1. c. ; Torr. Bot. Mex. Bound. 71, t. 29. — Common in 

 California, from Monterey to San Diego. 



Var. interrupta, Gray, 1. c. Like the preceding, or sometimes larger-leaved and 

 more sarmentose, but glabrous or minutely puberulent, more glaucous : spikes commonly 

 elongated, of numerous capitellate whorls: corolla perfectly glabrous, pinkish or yellow- 

 ish, less hairy inside. — L. interrupta, Benth. PI. Hartw. 313. — Common in California : also 

 Santa Catalina Mountains, Arizona, Pringle, Lemmon. 



8. DIERVLLLA, Tourn. Bush Honeysuckle. (Dr. Dierville took 

 the original species from Canada to Tournefort in the year 1708.) — Low shrubs 

 (of Atlantic N. America, Japan, and China) ; with scaly buds, simply serrate 

 membranaceous leaves, and flowers in terminal or upper axillary naked cymes, 

 produced in early summer. — The E. Asian species, Weigela, Thunb. (of which 

 D. Japonica is. common in cultivation), have ampliate and mostly rose-colored 

 corollas, herbaceous calyx-lobes deciduous from the beak of the fruit, and reticu- 

 late-winged seeds. Ours have small and narrow-funnelform corollas, of honey- 

 yellow color, thin-walled capsule, and close coat to the seed, the surface minutely 

 reticulated; herbage nearly glabrous. — Torr. & Gray, Fl. ii. 10. 



D. triflda, Mosnch. Branchlets nearly terete ; leaves ovate-oblong, acuminate, distinctly 

 petioled : axillary peduncles more commonly 3-flowered : limb of the corolla nearly equal-
