Lonicera ciliosa |
Lonicera ciliosa, the orange honeysuckleorwestern trumpet honeysuckle is a honeysuckle native to forests of western North America. A deciduous shrub growing to 6 m (20 ft) tall with hollow twigs, the leaves are opposite, oval, 4–10 cm (1.6–3.9 in) long with the last pair on each twig merged to form a disk. The flowers are orange-yellow, 2–4 cm (0.79–1.57 in) 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 cm (0.39 in) diameter.[1][2]
During Lewis and Clark's expeditions beginning in 1804, Lonicera ciliosa was one of the many florae recorded.[3] The orange honeysuckle was used as cold medicine, a contraceptive, a sedative and even as a tuberculosis remedy.[4]
The fruits are edible[5] either raw or cooked, but are not a common food.[6]
