Botanical Description The name Lonicera hispida was originally given by Pallas to a plant he collected in the Altai Mountains of Siberia. A short description of this plant, drawn up by Willdenow, was published from his MSS. by Roemer and Schultes in their 16th edition of Linn?'s Systema Vegetabilium (1819). The more important characters were as follows: branches hispid with rigid hairs from minute scattered tubercles; leaves ovate, nearly 2? ins. long, 1 in. wide, glabrous on both surfaces, ciliate, petiolate; axillary buds as long as the petiole; bracts ovate-elliptic, as long as the berry. Of this description it must be remarked that the characters italicized are only rarely met with; indeed, no specimen has been seen in which the bracts do not exceed the berry (even when ripe), and in the absence of confirmation from the type specimen it may perhaps be doubted whether *Vide Sprague in Kew Bull. 1933, p. 383, 387.
