{Honey}, and {Suck}.] (Bot.)
One of several species of flowering plants, much admired for
their beauty, and some for their fragrance.

{Lonicera}; as, {L. Caprifolium}, and {L. Japonica},
the commonly cultivated fragrant kinds; {L.
Periclymenum}, the fragrant woodbine of England; {L.
grata}, the American woodbine, and {L. sempervirens},
the red-flowered trumpet honeysuckle. The European fly
honeysuckle is {L. Xylosteum}; the American, {L.
ciliata}. The American Pinxter flower ({Azalea
nudiflora}) is often called honeysuckle, or false
honeysuckle. The name {Australian honeysuckle} is
applied to one or more trees of the genus {Banksia}.
