Terminal whorls (c) (inwhch n 2 close together) close to(H) have only small bracts(as at D) to as long as 5 mm..(As R. understands the descres L.utresea would have no sessile whorls and L.Caprifolium would have no whorls not sessile or connate brs.) Bractlets thickish, roundish to 21/2-3mm high which "about 1/2 as long as ovary." Corolla tube slender, delicately curved not gotten to 3cm long; limb 1/2 as long.
