Lonicera vidalii is
a deciduous, well-branching shrub, 2-3m in height, found in forests
in hilly districts, with grayish-brown bark 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 is 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,
with two conglutinates, and ripens to a dark red in July-August.
Bloom time: May-June. |
