Lonicera tragophylla
Also called Chinese Honeysuckle
Yellow honeysuckle is a deciduous climbing shrub from central China, growing up to about 6 m with trumpet-shaped yellow flowers in late summer and autumn. It is unscented, unlike many relatives, and grows best in full sun or part shade with support to climb on.
Lonicera tragophylla, the Chinese honeysuckle, is a species of flowering plant in the family Caprifoliaceae, native to Central China, where it inhabits forest, scrub and rocky crevices. Growing to 6 m (20 ft) tall by 1.5 m (4.9 ft) wide, it is a deciduous climbing shrub with grey-green leaves and trumpet-shaped, pure rich yellow flowers in late summer and autumn. Unlike many of its relatives in the honeysuckle genus Lonicera, it is unscented.
The Latin specific epithet tragophylla means literally "goat leaf".
