Lonicera vidalii is
a deciduous, well-branching shrub, 2-3m in height, found in forests
in hilly districts, with grayish-brown barks splitting and peeling
off as small slips of paper. Leaves are opposite, blades obovate or
oblong with short tips pointed, bases orbicular or cuneate, and
margins entire. Petioles are 1-1.5cm long and have glandular hairs
on them. Peduncles appear from axils, and each sets two flowers on
the tip; they are white at first, then tinge light yellow; the
corolla is labiate, 1.3-1.4cm long, the upper lip 7-10mm long, and
its tip is cleft in 4. The lower lip is broad and linear. Stamens
and styles are 5 and 1, respectively; both pop out long from the
floral tube. The fruit is succulent, 7-11mm across, spherical, two
conglutinate, and ripens dark red in July-August. Bloom time:
May-June. |
