Lonicera similis is a species of flowering plant in the family Caprifoliaceae, native to Western China.[3] This honeysuckle is known in cultivation by the varietydelavayi (the Delavay honeysuckle) which is reported by some authorities to be synonymous with L. similis itself.[1] It is a large, twining, semi-evergreen shrub growing to 8 m (26 ft) tall by 1.5 m (4.9 ft) broad, with a profusion of fragrant tubular flowers opening white and ageing to yellow, in late summer and autumn. The flowers are followed by black berries. The Latin specific epithetsimilis means “similar to”.[4] It is similar in appearance to L. japonica, but larger and more robust.[5] The name delavayi honours the French missionary and botanist Père Jean Marie Delavay (1834-1895).[4]
