Wikipedia: https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Lonicera_ciliosa<\/a> & https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Lonicera_hispidula<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Two species of honeysuckle are commonly found around Nanaimo. For the purposes of BIOL 223 – Botany, I just want you to be able to recognize that these are honeysuckle plants of the genus Lonicera<\/em>, but I’ll describe both species since you’re likely to run into them on your forays across our parks and lands. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Honeysuckles belong to the family Caprifoliaceae. As such, they have a few characteristics in common with the other Caprifoliaceae members described on this website, namely snowberry (Symphoricarpos albus<\/a><\/em>) and twinflower (Linnaea borealis<\/a><\/em>):<\/p>\n\n\n\n Honeysuckles have trailing, twining stems. Orange honeysuckle (L. ciliosa<\/em>) tends to twine around and climb high up into shrubs and trees. Hairy honeysuckle (L. hispidula<\/em>) is usually found trailing along the ground and forming tangled thickets here and there. It might climb into a shrub, but usually not as high into the foliage as orange honeysuckle does. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Both species of honeysuckle are found in the woods, or at edges of forests, though hairy honeysuckle (L. hispidula<\/em>) tends to be found in slightly drier habitats. <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Family: Caprifoliaceae Common name: Honeysuckle (orange & hairy) E-flora BC: https:\/\/linnet.geog.ubc.ca\/Atlas\/Atlas.aspx?sciname=Lonicera%20ciliosa & https:\/\/linnet.geog.ubc.ca\/Atlas\/Atlas.aspx?sciname=Lonicera%20hispidula Wikipedia: https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Lonicera_ciliosa & https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Lonicera_hispidula Two species of honeysuckle are commonly found around Nanaimo.
