Editorial Note
Originally treated as a variety of Lonicera hispida, raised to species rank by Rehder, but subsequently reduced to synonymy with L. hispida. Distinctive cultivated forms introduced under the name are in circulation, so for the time being we retain Bean’s entry under the original name pending a full, revised treatment of Lonicera to be undertaken when funding permits.
An upright deciduous shrub 5 to 7 ft high; shoots bristly and glandular. Leaves ovate to oblong, sometimes oval, 11⁄2 to 3 in. long, blunt to pointed at the apex, bristly, especially beneath. Flowers in pairs or solitary, borne on hairy stalks up to 3⁄4 in. long; corolla tubular, 11⁄4 in. long, dividing at the mouth to five roundish spreading lobes, primrose yellow, hairy and glandular outside; ovary densely glandular and bristly. Berries bright red. Bot. Mag., t. 8804.
Native of W. China; introduced for Messrs Veitch by Wilson in 1904. It is an attractive shrub of comely habit, closely akin to L. hispida, which differs in its more slender corolla-tube and its glabrous or glandular ovary and in being less but more harshly hairy. It is quite hardy and flowers in June.
