Lonicera cauriana

Orange Honeysuckle

Lonicera ciliosa

Lonicera ciliosa (Orange Honeysuckle or Western Trumpet Honeysuckle) is a honeysuckle native to forests of western North America. A deciduous shrub growing to 6 meter tall with hollow twigs, the leaves are opposite, oval, 4-10 centimeter long with the last pair on each twig merged to form a disk. The flowers are orange-yellow, 2-4 centimeter long, with five lobes and trumpet shaped; they are produced in whorls above the disk-leaf on the ends of shoots. The fruit is a translucent orange-red berry less than 1 centimeter diameter. The fruits are edible either raw or cooked, but are not a common food.

Double Honeysuckle

Lonicera conjugialis

Lonicera conjugialis is a species of honeysuckle known by the common name purpleflower honeysuckle. It is native to the western United States from Pacific Northwest to the Sierra Nevada, where it grows in many types of mountain habitat, especially moist areas. This is a slender shrub often exceeding 1.5 meters in erect height. The lightly hairy leaves are oval to round and 2 to 8 centimeters long. The flower cluster is generally a pair of flowers nestled in a leaf axil toward the end of a branch. Each flower is maroon red to deep purple in color. It has an upper lip made up of four fused lobes, and a single-lobed lower lip. The protruding stamens are tipped with light-colored anthers. The fruit is a pair of bright red berries which are often fused together in a double-lobed unit.

Pink Honeysuckle

Lonicera hispidula

Pink honeysuckle,  (Lonicera hispidula) also known as California honeysuckle, is a native vine or shrub in the Caprifoliaceae family. It grows along the coast from San Luis Obispo County northward, as well as in the Sierra foothills and parts of southern California. Typically found on slopes and streambanks at elevations up to 2,500 feet, this adaptable plant thrives in both moist year-round soils and drier summer conditions with minimal irrigation.

With its vibrant tubular pink flowers, pink honeysuckle is a magnet for hummingbirds. It can climb larger shrubs or trellises when available, or it will sprawl along the ground as a trailing shrub. In late summer, it produces clusters of striking red berries that attract birds, though they may be mildly toxic to humans.

Gardeners should be aware that pink honeysuckle can act as a foliar host for the pathogen Phytophthora ramorum, which causes sudden oak death. While it remains a beautiful and easy-to-grow choice for coastal and northern California gardens, care should be taken when planting near susceptible oak species.

Chaparral Honeysuckle

Lonicera interrupta

Chaparral Honeysuckle is a hardy shrub with a woody trunk which sends up spike flower clusters of yellow honeysuckle flowers. Each flower is about a centimeter long, with prominent stamens extending from the rolled-back lips. The fruits are red, spherical, and shiny. It is quite drought-tolerant, being native to the hot, dry chaparral ecosystems of California and Arizona. It is attractive to hummingbirds. Has an edible, but very bitter berries.

Black Twinberry

Lonicera involucrata

Twinberry (Lonicera involucrata) is a member of the Honeysuckle (Caprifoliaceae) family that is native to northern and western North America, from southern Alaska to Quebec, and south through the western United States to California and to Chihuahua in northwestern Mexico. 

It is a large shrub with elliptical leaves. Its flowers are tubular, hairy, 1-2 centimeter long. They are produced in pairs; each pair has a pair of reddish basal leaves. The fruit is a black berry 1/4 to 1/2 inch in diameter; each contains several small seeds.The fruit is edible but bitter and best left to the birds.

In California the two recognized varieties have differing ranges. Var. involucrata has mostly yellow flowers and is found in the Sierra. Var. ledebourii has mostly red-orange flowers and is found along the coast and in the Coast Ranges from Santa Barbara County northwards. It grows at elevations from sea level to 9500 ft.

In the garden, this plant likes regular water but can survive on reduced watering. The flowers are welcome in summer when many other plants have finished blooming.

Twinberry

Lonicera involucrata var. involucrata

Twinberry (Lonicera involucrata var. involucrata) is a native shrub that grows in central and northern California. It tends to grow in moist places, at elevations from 2000-9500 feet.

In California, the two recognized varieties of Lonicera involucrata have different ranges. Var. involucrata has mostly yellow flowers and is found in the Sierra.

Twinberry Honeysuckle

Lonicera involucrata var. ledebourii

Twinberry Honeysuckle (Lonicera involucrata var. ledebourii) is a native shrub that grows in Northern, Southern and Central California, primarily in the North Coast and Central Coast regions. It tends to grow in moist places, at elevations from 0-4900 feet.

Southern Honeysuckle

Lonicera subspicata

Southern Honeysuckle is a species in the Caprifoliaceae (Honeysuckle) family that is endemic to California, where it is known from several areas in mountain and coastal habitats, particularly chaparral. It is a vining shrub that usually climbs on other plants for support. It may exceed two meters in length. It is lined with oval leaves up to 4 centimeters long. The flower cluster is a long, fuzzy spike of light yellow flowers each about a centimeter long. The flower has an upper and lower lip with hairy stamens and style protruding. The fruit is a round red or yellow berry just under a centimeter wide. There are two recognized varieties, var. subspicata and var. denudata. There are subtle differences between the two varieties, and they have overlapping ranges (see separate listings). Var. denudata is the more widespread variety.

Santa Barbara Honeysuckle (Lonicera subspicata var. denudata) is a vining shrub in the Caprifoliaceae (Honeysuckle) family. It is the most commonly occurring variety of the species. Despite the common name, it grows across much of southern and central California, primarily in the coastal counties but with scattered inland locations. It tends to grow on slopes, at elevations from sea level to 5,900 feet. It is known from several types of mountain and coastal habitats, particularly chaparral. It is a vining shrub which usually climbs on other plants for support. It may exceed two meters in length. It is lined with oval leaves up to 4 centimeters long.
