HONEYSUCKLE FAMILY. Caprifoliaceae. 
tinged with red outside, with five, short, nearly equal 
lobes, the tube swollen at base. The involucre becomes 
dark red, its lobes turn back and display a pair of berries, 
disagreeable to the taste, as large as peas, nearly black, 
the whole affair striking in color and form. This grows in 
moist mountain woods and seems to have smoother, 
glossier foliage, and smaller flowers, in Utah than elsewhere. 
Pink Honey- Rather pretty, with a woody trunk and 
sacks hairy twigs, climbing over shrubs and 
Lonicéra hispidula trees, sometimes to a height of twenty 
Pink feet. The leaves are pale on the under 
sear eR Cai, Side, the upper ones usually united around 
the stem, and the flowers are about three- 
quarters of an inch long, with pink corollas and long 
stamens, and form long clusters, which are pretty but not 
effective, though the translucent, orange-red berries are 
handsome and conspicuous. This varies very much, 
especially in hairiness and color of the foliage, and is quite 
common in canyons and along streams in the Coast Ranges. 
The Yellow Honeysuckle, L. Californica, is similar, but 
with smooth branches and leaves and pale yellow flowers; 
growing in Oregon and northern California. 
There are two kinds of Linnaea. 
One of the loveliest of woodland plants; 
the long, woody stems trail over the 
ground and send up straight, slender 
Twin-flower 
Linnaéa borealis 
var. Americana 
Pink branches, a few inches tall, clothed with 
Summer leathery, evergreen leaves, bright green 
Northwest, 
and glossy, and terminating in a slender, 
slightly hairy flower-stalk, which bears 
a pair of little nodding flowers, about half an inch long, 
hanging on very slender pedicels, with two bracts. The 
corollas are regular, with five lobes, delicate pink, veined 
with deeper color and paler at the margins, with a white 
pistil and four, white stamens, not protruding. The fruit 
is roundish and dry, with one seed. This often carpets the 
forest floor with its glossy foliage, ornamenting the moss 
with its fairy-like blossoms, which perfume the air with a 
fragrance like Heliotrope. It is found in cold, mountain 
woods, up to thirteen thousand feet, across the continent 
and also in Europe and Asia, and was named after Lin- 
naeus because it was a favorite of his.
