Lonicera
Honeysuckles are arching shrubs or twining vines in the genus ''Lonicera'' () of the family Caprifoliaceae. The genus includes 158 species native to northern latitudes in North America, Eurasia, and North Africa. Widely known species include ''Lonicera periclymenum'' (common honeysuckle or woodbine), ''Lonicera japonica'' (Japanese honeysuckle, white honeysuckle, or Chinese honeysuckle) and ''Lonicera sempervirens'' (coral honeysuckle, trumpet honeysuckle, or woodbine honeysuckle). ''L. japonica'' is a highly invasive species considered a significant pest in parts of North America, Europe, South America, New Zealand, Australia, and Africa. Some species are highly fragrant and colorful, so are cultivated as ornamental garden plants. In North America, hummingbirds are attracted to the flowers, especially ''L. sempervirens'' and ''L. ciliosa'' (orange honeysuckle). Honeysuckle derives its name from the edible sweet nectar obtainable from its tubular flowers. The name ''Lonicera'' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Lonicera Periclymenum
''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, North Africa, Turkey and the Caucasus. It is found as far north as southern Norway, Sweden and Finland. Description Growing to or more in height, it is a vigorous deciduous twining climber, occasionally keeping its old leaves over winter. 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, creamy white or yellowish in colour, may be flushed with pink or red on the outside and in bud, and are carried in showy clusters at the ends of the shoots. The flowers are highly scented by night, much less so by day.

Lonicera Xylosteum
''Lonicera xylosteum'', commonly known as fly honeysuckle, European fly honeysuckle, dwarf honeysuckle or fly woodbine is a deciduous shrub. Its fruit persists for an average of 15.4 days, and bears an average of 4.5 seeds per fruit. Fruits average 88.6% water, and their dry weight includes 43.4% carbohydrates and 1.2% lipid Lipids are a broad group of organic compounds which include fats, waxes, sterols, fat-soluble vitamins (such as vitamins A, D, E and K), monoglycerides, diglycerides, phospholipids, and others. The functions of lipids include storing ...s. The glossy red (or occasionally yellow) berries of this shrub are mildly poisonous to humans – children who ingest a large number (c. 30) of berries may experience abdominal pain and vomiting.

Parthenocissus
''Parthenocissus'' , is a genus of tendril vine, climbing plants in the grape family (biology), family, Vitaceae. It contains about 12 species native plant, native to the Himalaya, eastern Asia and North America. Several are grown for ornamental use, notably ''P. henryana'', ''P. quinquefolia'' and ''P. tricuspidata''. Etymology The name derives from the Greek παρθένος (''parthenos'') "virgin", and κισσός (''kissós'') (Latinized as "cissus"), "ivy The reason is variously given as the ability of these creepers to form seeds without pollen, pollination or the English name of ''P. quinquefolia'', Virginia creeper, which has become attached to the whole genus. Fossil record Among the middle Miocene Sarmatian (age), Sarmatian palynology, palynoflora from the Lavanttal Basin, Austrian researchers have recognized ''Parthenocissus'' fossil pollen. The sediment containing the ''Parthenocissus'' fossil pollen had accumulated in a lowland wetland environment with various vege ...

Parthenocissus Quinquefolia
''Parthenocissus quinquefolia'', commonly known as Virginia creeper, woodbine, five-leaved ivy, or five-finger, is a species of flowering vine in the grape family Vitaceae. The species is native to eastern and central North America, with its range extending from south-eastern Canada and the eastern United States, west to Manitoba and Utah, and as far south as eastern Mexico and Guatemala. It has been introduced globally and is considered an invasive species to varying degrees in the European Union, the United Kingdom, China, Australia, and Cuba. Names The genus name, ''Parthenocissus'', is a Latinisation of the Greek παρθένος (''parthénos'', “virgin, maiden”) + κισσός (''kissós'', “ivy”). The specific epithet, ''quinquefolia'', derives from the Latin ''quinque'' (“five”) + ''folia'' (“leaf”), referring to the leaflets on each compound (palmate) leaf.Gledhill, David (2008).

Parthenocissus Tricuspidata
''Parthenocissus tricuspidata'' is a species of flowering plant in the grape family (Vitaceae) native to eastern Asia (Korea, Japan, and northern and eastern China), where it thrives in floodplain bushes, riverside woodland and moist mountain mixed forests. Although unrelated to true ivy, it is commonly known as Boston ivy, grape ivy, Japanese ivy, and also as Japanese creeper, and by the name woodbine (though the latter may refer to a number of different vine species). The specific epithet ''tricuspidata'' means three-pointed, referring to the leaf shape. Boston ivy is readily distinguished from the Virginia creeper (''Parthenocissus quinquefolia'') by its simple leaves with pointed lobes (Virginia creeper leaves are divided into five separate leaflets). Description It is a deciduous woody vine growing to 30 m tall or more given suitable support, attaching itself by means of numerous small branched tendrils tipped with sticky disks. The leaves are simple, palmately lobed ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Parthenocissus Inserta
''Parthenocissus inserta'' ( syn. ''Parthenocissus vitacea''), also known as thicket creeper, false Virginia creeper, woodbine, or grape woodbine, is a woody vine native to North America. Contact with it may cause dermatitis. Description ''Parthenocissus inserta'' is a climbing and sprawling woody vine (liana), reaching lengths of , using small branched tendrils with twining tips. The leaves are palmately compound, composed of five leaflets, each leaflet reaching in length and 7 cm broad. The leaflets have a coarsely toothed margin. The flowers are small and greenish, produced in clusters in late spring, and mature in late summer or early fall into small blue-black berries. The berries are up to wide and palatable. They contain oxalates. Similar species ''Parthenocissus inserta'' is closely related to and commonly confused with ''Parthenocissus quinquefolia'' (Virginia creeper). They differ in their means of climbing, with the tendrils twining around plant stems in ''P. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Clematis Virginiana
''Clematis virginiana'' (also known as devil's darning needles, devil's hair, love vine, traveller's joy, virgin's bower, Virginia virgin's bower, wild hops, and woodbine; syn. ''Clematis virginiana'' L. var. ''missouriensis'' (Rydb.) Palmer & Steyermark ) is a vine of the Ranunculaceae (buttercup family) native to North America from Newfoundland to southern Manitoba down to the Gulf of Mexico. The rationale for some of the common names is unclear, as they include examples normally applied to unrelated plants, including twining parasites (e.g. "devil's hair" for ''Cuscuta''). The name " Love Vine" also is applied to alleged aphrodisiacs, such as Caribbean species of ''Cassytha'', which are unrelated to ''Clematis'', not being in the family Ranunculaceae. Description This plant is an aggressively growing vine which can climb to heights of by twisting leafstalks. The leaves are opposite and pinnately compound, trifoliate (3 leaflets) that have coarse unequal teeth on the margi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
