Lonicera ruprechtiana, Regel. Shrub, to 12 ft.: Lvs.ovate- lanceolate to lanceolate, acuminate, usually dark green above, grayish pubescent beneath, 2-4 in. long: fls. on rather long peduncles, pure white at first, glabrous outside; bractlets only glandular-ciliate; small, about one- third of the ovary: fr. red or sometimes yellow. May, June. Manchuria. Gt. 19:645. Var. xanthocarpa, Zabel (L. gibbiflora, Dipp.) Fls. smaller, yellowish: fr. yellow. Var. calvescens, Rehd. Lvs.almost glabrous except hairy nerves on under side.—This species and L. Morrowii are likely to hybridize with L. tatarica; these hybrids are very common, and may be recognized by the glabrescent foliage and the tinge of pink in the fls. The true L. Ruprechtiana is much rarer in gardens than its hybrids.
