the Rocky Mountains.—This varies exceedingly in the colour of its flowers, and some of my specimens have
their leaves downy with short hairs beneath: so that I cannot help fearing that the following may be only
a variety of it.

Haw. Banks of the Saskatchawan. Douglas. (.Lindl.)—The only specimen of a perfoliate leaved Honeysuckle,
which I possess from Mr. Douglas, gathered on the East side of the Rocky Mountains, is the
pubescent leaved var. of L. parviflora, which at first sight has indeed the appearance of a distinct species,
but which may be seen gradually passing into the usual glabrous appearance of the a. The great size of the
leaves, (six to seven inches long,) mentioned by Mr. Lindley, is probably owing to cultivation.

Hab. About Fort Vancouver, on the Columbia. Douglas.—This beautiful Honeysuckle is a great
acquisition to our gardens: it is quite different from any of the above species; and if the presence and
absence of hairs on the corolla are to be depended on, it is also different from the following species. It
inhabits nearly the same country. The flowers are longer than any other British North American species,
and of a full orange red.

6. L ? microphylla; volubilis, foliis (parvis) breve petiolatis cordatis obtusis rigidis

Hab. North-West America. On the subalpine range of Mount Hood, in rocky partially shaded places,
abundant. Sparingly at the'Grand Rapids, and on steep rocks near “ Oak Point,” on the Columbia. Douglas.
—Mr. Douglas’ specimens possess no flowers; but, judging from the habit of the plant, it may perhaps safely
be referred to this Genus, and to the present division of it. The leaves are scarcely more than six lines
long, uniform, exactly cordate, very villous, as well as the twining stem, with’brown hispid hairs. It is quite
different from any species with which I am acquainted.
