DOUGLAS HONEYSUCKLE 



Lonicera glaucescens Rydberg 



FRUIT OF PLATE 8 1 



The bright red fruit of the Douglas honeysuckle ripens in Septem- 

 ber. At this season the leaves turn yellow, their veins being usually red. 

 The juicy, inedible fruits are in clusters, each cluster surrounded by a 

 leafy cup. 



The range of this plant covers the central and northern portions of 

 the United States, and southern Canada. 



This sketch was made from a specimen found in September, in the 

 upper Kootenay Valley near the motor road between the Columbia 

 River Valley and Lake Louise, Alberta, at an altitude of 3,000 feet.
