M°ist rocky woodlands, Pennsylvania {Darlington!) to Western Louisiana,
Dr. Hale! “ Mountains, New York to Carolina,” Pursh. May.—
“ Stem 10 to 15 or 20 feet long, twining, or trailing unless supported: the
young branches often quite pilose.” Darlington. Leaves about 2 inches
long, very obtuse, or with a short blunt point. Flowers about 6 in each
whorl, very fragrant: the smooth corolla an inch and a half long, externally
red or purplish ; the limb (large) at first nearly white, soon turning to tawny
y elI°w- Stamens exserted. Berries orange-red.—Very near the cultivated
L. Lapnfolium.
5. L . albiflora: twining or trailing; leaves (small and rather crowded)
ovate, glabrous, glaucous beneath; the upper pair connate-perfoliate; the
others distinct, sessile; flowers in small sessile heads; tube of the glabrous
corolla slender, not gibbous; filaments glabrous.
Prairies near Fort Towson, on the Arkansas, Dr. Leavenworth !—Climbing
over bushes and small trees. Leaves less than an inch long, rather rigid.
Corolla white, about three-fourths of an inch long ; the lower lip oblong,
scarcely half the length of the slender tube. Stamenshomewhat exserted._
Apparently a very distinct species: the corolla, in shape, resembles that of
L . grata.
6. 'L . flava (Sinis): glabrous and somewhat glaucous; stem scarcely
twining; leaves ovate, obovate, or oval, with a narrow cartilaginous margin;
the upper pairs Connate-perfoliate; the lowest distinct; flowers in small
heads or approximate whorls ; tube of the glabrous corolla slender, not gibbous;
filaments glabrous.—Sims, hot. mag. t. 1318; Torr. fl. 1. p. 243;

of the corolla rather shorter and stouter.

Mountains, S. Carolina, Fraser. Upper districts of Georgia, Dr. Boylcin!
p. Banks of the Scioto above Columbus, Ohio, Mr. Sullivant! Milwaukie,
Wisconsin, Mr. Lapharn ! June-July.—Leaves 14 to nearly 3 inches long,
very glabrous above, glaucous and often with an extremely minute and soft
whitish caducous pubescence beneath, obtuse, or with ablunt mucronate point.
Flowers 8-12, in a subsessile or somewhat pedunculate head, or sometimes
in two or three verticillate clusters, fragrant. Corolla bright yellow, an inch
or rather more long (in p. less than an inch) ; the tube much longer than the
somewhat ventricose limb, very slightly dilated near the base, but not gibbous
; the lower lip narrowly oblong; the upper 4-lobed. Stamens 'exserted.—
A beautiful species, which has long been cultivated in the European
gardens.
7. L. hirsuta (Eaton): stem mostly twining; leaves (pale green, not
shining) broadly oval, very veiny, ciliate, somewhat hairy above, softly villous
beneath ; the upper pair connate-perfoliate, often nearly glabrous ; the
others frequently petioled; peduncles mostly three together; the; flowers in
approximate capitate whorls; tube of the corolla viscid-pubescent, rather
slender, slightly gibbous at the base; filaments sparsely hairy towards the
base.—Eaton! man. hot. ed. 3. p. 341; Torr. ! fi. 1. p . 242 ; Bigel. fi. Bost.

Rocky banks and margin of thickets, in damp soil, Canada ! and Michigan
! (around Lake Huron and Lake Superior!) and in the northern parts of
New York! and the New England States! June-July.—Stem often twining
to the height of 15-30 feet, with somewhat pubescent branches. Leaves
3-4 inches long, and 2-3 broad, membranaceous, conspicuously veiny, often
somewhat rugose, sprinkled with scattered hairs above (some of which are
usually a little glandular or viscid), conspicuously ciliate, often abruptly
acute or slightly pointed at the base and apex; the upper surface nearly
glabrous when old. Peduncles and even the ovaries often covered with a
minute viscid or glandular pubescence, like that of the corolla. Flowers numerous,
sulphur-yellow. Corolla hairy inside; the tube 6-8 lines long; the
limb large and much expanded. Stamens and style exserted; the latter,
like the filaments, more or less hairy below, sometimes hirsute. Berries
orange, 3-5-seeded.
8. L.parmfiora (Lam.): glabrous; stem trailing or twining; leaves elliptical
or oblong, smooth, shining above, very glaucous beneath, with a
slight often undulate cartilaginous margin'; the upper pair connate-perfoliate;
the others sessile and mostly somewhat connate; flowers in a more or less
pedunculate head or 2-3 closely approximate whorls ; corolla short, glabrous
externally, gibbous at the base ; filaments somewhat hairy below.—Lam.

&c., Douglas. Near Fort Gratiot, Michigan, Dr. Pitcher! On limestone
cliffs along the Scioto &c. Ohio, Mr. Sullivant! May-June— Stem 6-10
feet long. Leaves 2-3,- or on young shoots even 4 inches long, sometimes
with a slight and sparse deciduous pubescence beneath, but usually
perfectly glabrous; the lower ones often narrowed at the base, but sessile.
Corolla 8-9 lines long, including the short spreading limb, yellow "tinged
with dull purple. Stamens exserted. Berries orange.—In our var. p. from
Ohio, the pubescence of the lower surface of the leaves is apparently deciduous,
and in vigorous shoots they are often 4 or 5 inches long; the lower
ones inclined to ovate-lanceolate. We have little doubt that this is the same
with the Caprifolium Douglasii of Lindley (although we have never observed
the leaves in the slightest degree ciliate), and it has the appearance of a distinct
species : but our specimens from Fort Gratiot are exactly L. parviflora
except in the pubescence, and are doubtless the same as Hooker’s plant’
“ which may be seen gradually passing into the usual glabrous appearance ’’’
ih e stamens and style are at first about the length of the corolla.
