   See {Honey}, and {Suck}.] (Bot.)
   One of several species of flowering plants, much admired for
   their beauty, and some for their fragrance.
   [1913 Webster]

   Note: The honeysuckles are properly species of the genus
         {Lonicera}; as, {Lonicera Caprifolium}, and {Lonicera
         Japonica}, the commonly cultivated fragrant kinds;
         {Lonicera Periclymenum}, the fragrant woodbine of
         England; {Lonicera grata}, the American woodbine, and
         {Lonicera sempervirens}, the red-flowered trumpet
         honeysuckle. The European fly honeysuckle is {Lonicera
         Xylosteum}; the American, {Lonicera 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}. See {French honeysuckle},
         under {French}.
