honeysuckle

1. Honeysuckle
   (Bot) One of several species of flowering plants, much admired for their beauty, and some for their fragrance.☞ The honeysuckles are properly species of the genus Lonicera; as, Lonicera Caprifolium, and Lonicera Japonica, the commonly cultivated fragrant kinds; Lonicera Periclymenum, the fragrant woodbine of England; Lonicera grata, the American woodbine, and Lonicera sempervirens, the red-flowered trumpet honeysuckle. The European fly honeysuckle is Lonicera Xylosteum; the American, Lonicera ciliata. The American Pinxter flower (Azalea nudiflora) is often called honeysuckle, or false honeysuckle. The name Australian honeysuckle is applied to one or more trees of the genus Banksia. See French honeysuckle, under French.

1. (n) honeysuckle
   A name of upright or climbing shrubs of the genus Lonicera, natural order Caprifoliaceœ, natives of the temperate parts of both hemispheres. They have entire opposite leaves, and axillary, often fragrant, white, red, or yellow flowers, which are succeeded by sweetish red or purple berries. The common honeysuckle, L. Periclymenum, a native of central and western Europe, cultivated in the United States, is also known by the name of woodbine, and is probably the ‘twisted eglantine’ of Milton. L. Caprifolium, which is frequent in gardens, and is characterized by the upper pairs of leaves being united into a cup, and L. Xylosteum, the fly - honeysuckle, are also found in England, the latter only being probably native. L. sempervirens (trumpet or coral honeysuckle), a native of North America, is cultivated on account of the beauty of its large flowers, which are red on the outside and yellowish within. L. ciliata is the American fly-honeysuckle; it has a honey-yellow corolla slightly tinged with purple. L. flexuosa is the Chinese honeysuckle, and L. Tatarica the Tatarian honeysuckle. The bark of L. corymbosa is used for dyeing black in Chili, and the berries of L. cœrulea are a favorite food of the Kamtchadales.
2. (n) honeysuckle
   A plant of some other genus. The name honeysuckle is very generally applied in northern New England to the genus Aquilegia, of the natural order Ranunculaceæ, and particularly to the native wild columbine, A. Canadensis. The African fly-honeysuckle is Halleria lucida, of the natural order Scrophularineæ; the Australian honeysuckles belong to the genus Banksia, natural order Proteaceæ, as B. serrata and B. integrifolia. The bush-honeysuckles, of the genus Diervilla (a near relative of Lonicera, the true honeysuckle), are low shrubs of North America, China, and Japan, extensively cultivated for their profuse, mostly rose-colored flowers. The dwarf honeysuckle is Cornus Suecica, of the natural order Cornaceæ, a native of north temperate or arctic countries; the French honeysuckle is Hedysarum coronarium, of the natural order Leguminosæ; the ground-honeysuckle is Lotus corniculatus, of the natural order Leguminosæ; the New Zealand honeysuckle is Knightia excelsa, of the natural order Proteaceæ; the Tasmanian honeysuckle is Banksia australis; the West Indian honeysuckle is Tecoma capensis; the purple honeysuckle or azalea is Rhododendron nudiflorum; the white honeysuckle is Rhododendron viscosum, of the natural order Ericaceæ. Various species of Desmodium are also so called. See Banksia, Diervilla, Lonicera, Cornus, Hedysarum, Desmodium, Halleria, Tecoma, Rhododendron.
