'''Honeysuckles''' are arching [[shrub]]s or [[Vine#Twining vines|twining vines]] in the genus '''''Lonicera''''' ({{IPAc-en|l|ɒ|ˈ|n|ɪ|s|ər|ə}}<ref>''Sunset Western Garden Book,'' 1995:606–607</ref>) of the family [[Caprifoliaceae]]. The genus includes 158 species<ref name=powo/> native to northern [[latitude]]s in North America, [[Eurasia]], and North Africa.<ref name=powo/><ref name="cabi">{{cite web |title=''Lonicera japonica'' |url=https://www.cabi.org/isc/datasheet/31191 |publisher=CABI |access-date=3 August 2019 |date=29 November 2018}}</ref> Widely known species include ''[[Lonicera periclymenum]]'' (common honeysuckle or woodbine), ''[[Lonicera japonica]]'' (Japanese honeysuckle, white honeysuckle, or Chinese honeysuckle) and ''[[Lonicera sempervirens]]'' (coral honeysuckle, trumpet honeysuckle, or woodbine honeysuckle). ''L. japonica'' is a highly [[invasive species]] considered a significant pest in parts of North America, Europe, South America, New Zealand, Australia, and Africa.<ref name=cabi/>

Some species are highly fragrant and colorful, so are cultivated as ornamental garden plants. In North America, [[hummingbird]]s are attracted to the flowers, especially ''L. sempervirens'' and ''L. ciliosa'' (orange honeysuckle). Honeysuckle derives its name from the edible sweet [[nectar]] obtainable from its tubular flowers.<ref>{{cite web|title=Honeysuckle|url=http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/honeysuckle|publisher=Merriam-Webster Dictionary|date=2017}}</ref> The name ''Lonicera'' stems from [[Adam Lonicer]], a Renaissance botanist.<ref name=cabi/>

==Description==
[[File:Honeysuckle-2.jpg|thumb|Honeysuckle (''[[Lonicera japonica]]'')]]
[[File:Wild honeysuckle Bashakill (31658).jpg|thumb|Wild honeysuckle buds in New York]]
Most species of ''Lonicera'' are [[hardiness (plants)|hardy]] twining climbers, with a minority of shrubby [[Glossary of plant morphology#Plant habit|habit]].<ref name=cabi/> Some species (including ''[[Lonicera hildebrandiana]]'' from the Himalayan foothills and ''[[Lonicera etrusca|L. etrusca]]'' from the Mediterranean) are tender and can be grown outside only in subtropical zones. The [[leaf|leaves]] are opposite, simple oval, {{convert|1|-|10|cm|abbr=on}} long; most are [[deciduous]] but some are [[evergreen]].

Many of the species have sweetly scented, [[bilateral symmetry|bilaterally symmetrical]] [[flower]]s that produce a sweet, edible [[nectar]], and most flowers are borne in clusters of two (leading to the common name of [[Lonicera involucrata|"twinberry"]] for certain North American species). Both shrubby and vining sorts have strongly fibrous stems which have been used for binding and textiles.

The [[fruit]] is a red, blue or black spherical or elongated [[berry (botany)|berry]] containing several seeds; in most species the berries are mildly [[poison]]ous, but in a few (notably ''[[Lonicera caerulea]]'') they are edible and grown for home use and commerce. Most honeysuckle berries are attractive to wildlife, which has led to species such as [[Lonicera japonica|''L. japonica'']] and [[Lonicera maackii|''L. maackii'']] spreading invasively outside of their home ranges. Many species of ''Lonicera'' are eaten by the [[larva]]e of some [[Lepidoptera]] species—see a list of Lepidoptera that feed on honeysuckles.

===Invasive species===
The spread of ''L. japonica'' in North America began in the United States in 1806, and it was widely cultivated by the 1860s.<ref name=cabi/> It was first discovered in Canada in [[Ontario]] forests in 1976, and became invasive by 2007.<ref name=cabi/> ''L. japonica'' was introduced in Australia between 1820 and 1840.<ref name=cabi/>

Several species of honeysuckle have become invasive when introduced outside their native range, particularly in North America, Europe, South America, Australia, and Africa.<ref name=cabi/>  Invasive species include ''L. japonica'', ''[[Lonicera maackii|L. maackii]]'', ''[[Lonicera morrowii|L. morrowii]]'', ''[[Lonicera tatarica|L. tatarica]]'', and the hybrid between the last two, [[Lonicera × bella|''L.'' × ''bella'']].<ref name=cabi/>

==Cultivation==
Honeysuckles are valued as garden plants, for their ability to cover unsightly walls and outbuildings, their profuse tubular flowers in early summer, and the intense fragrance of many varieties. The hardy climbing types need their roots in shade, and their flowering tops in sunlight or very light shade. Varieties need to be chosen with care, as they can become substantial. Cultivars of the dense, small-leaved ''[[Lonicera nitida|L. nitida]]'' are used as low, narrow hedges.<ref>{{cite book|title=RHS A-Z encyclopedia of garden plants|year=2008|publisher=Dorling Kindersley|location=United Kingdom|isbn=978-1405332965|pages=1136}}</ref>

Other [[cultivar]]s are dealt with under their species names.

The honeysuckle species ''L. japonica'' is grown as a commercial crop for [[traditional Chinese medicine]] use.<ref>Archived at [https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211211/xd7f4QihSKY Ghostarchive]{{cbignore}} and the [https://web.archive.org/web/20200708131048/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xd7f4QihSKY Wayback Machine]{{cbignore}}: {{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xd7f4QihSKY|title=Across China: Honeysuckle Planting in Tongwei|publisher=New China TV|date=17 November 2019}}{{cbignore}}</ref>

Honeysuckle is also used to scent Chinese teas in a process similar to [[Jasmine tea]]. This was popularized in the [[Qing dynasty]].<ref name="Mair-2009">Mair, Victor H.; Hoh, Erling (2009). ''The True History of Tea,'' ch. 9. Thames & Hudson, ISBN 978-0-500-25146-1</ref>

==Phytochemicals==
Component analyses of berries from 27 different [[cultivar]]s and 3 [[genotype]]s of edible honeysuckle (''Lonicera caerulea'' var. ''kamtschatica'') showed the presence of [[iridoid]]s, [[anthocyanin]]s, [[flavonol]]s, [[flavanonol]]s, [[flavones]], [[flavan-3-ol]]s, and [[phenolic acid]]s.<ref name="soko">{{cite journal|pmid=28273885|year=2017|last1=Kucharska|first1=A.

==Interaction with other species==
Many insects in the order [[Lepidoptera]] visit honeysuckles as a food source. An example of this is the moth ''[[Deilephila elpenor]]''. This nocturnal species of moth is especially attracted to honeysuckles, and they visit the flowers at night to feed on their nectar.<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://archive.org/details/b28107573|page=[https://archive.org/details/b28107573/page/1 1]|quote=elephant hawk moth.|title=The Moths of the British Isles|last=South|first=Richard|date=1907|publisher=F.
