Few soils come amiss to the Tulip Tree, it thriving well in that of very opposite descriptions loam, almost pure gravel, and alluvial deposit. LONICERA CAPRIFOLIUM. Europe. This species resembles L. Periclymenum, but is readily distinguished by the sessile flower-heads, and fawny-orange flowers. Japan, 1806. This is a pretty species, and one of the most useful of the climbing section.
L. PERICLYMENUM. Honeysuckle, or Woodbine. An indigenous climbing shrub, with long, lithe, and twisted cable-like branches, and bearing heads of sweetly-scented, reddish-yellow flowers. This is a favourite wild plant, and in the profusion and fragrance of its flowers it is surpassed by none of the exotic species.
There are several distinct nursery forms of this plant, including those known as L. Periclymenum Late Dutch, L. Periclymenum Early Cream, and L. Periclymenum odoratissimum; as also one with variegated foliage. L. SEMPERVIRENS. Scarlet Trumpet Honeysuckle. A North American evergreen species , with scarlet, almost inodorous flowers, produced freely during the summer.
