''Lonicera periclymenum'', common names honeysuckle, common honeysuckle, European honeysuckle or woodbine, is a species of flowering plant in the family Caprifoliaceae native to much of Europe. Growing to or more in height, it is a vigorous evergreen twining climber. It is found as far north as southern Norway and Sweden. In the UK it is one of two native honeysuckles, the other being ''Lonicera xylosteum''. It is often found in woodland or in hedgerows or scrubland. The tubular, two-lipped flowers are creamy white or yellowish and very sweet smelling (especially during the night). The plant is usually pollinated by moths or long-tongued bees and develops bright red berries. ==In culture== Honeysuckle, or woodbine, has been a valued part of Britain's ecology for centuries. It is mentioned by Shakespeare: :"I know a bank where the wild thyme blows, :Where oxlips and the nodding violet grows, :Quite over-canopied with luscious woodbine, :With sweet musk-roses and with eglantine" The plant was voted the County flower of Warwickshire in 2002 following a poll by the wild plant conservation charity Plantlife.〔Plantlife website (''County Flowers page'' )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lonicera periclymenum」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
