Description


Like other honeysuckles, Lonicera hispidula has pairs of leaves that grow opposite each other on the stem, with the uppermost pair fused at the bases to surround the stem. At the end of the stem grow pink blossoms.[4] It is a perennial shrub or vine.[5] It bears spherical red fruits which are edible but bitter.[citation needed]


Ecology


Lonicera hispidula grows in riparian and woodland areas.[4] The flowers attract hummingbirds, while other birds eat the fruits.[6]


Human uses


The stems are hollow and sturdy and were used by the Pomo people as smoking pipes.[7] It is cultivated by specialty native plant plant nurseries as an ornamental plant for drought-tolerant wildlife gardens and natural landscaping in California.[8]

Currently no subspecies are recognized. Previously recognized subspecies include Lonicera hispidula var. californica (Torr. & A. Gray) Rehder, Lonicera hispidula var. hispidula, and Lonicera hispidula var. vacillans A. Gray.[4]
