Honeysuckle, also known as honeysuckle. The name "Jin Yinhua" comes from the Compendium of Materia Medica. Since the honeysuckle flowers are white at first and then turn yellow, they are named Jin Yinhua. The medicinal material Jin Yinhua is the dried buds or flowers with just opened flowers of the honeysuckle plant and the same genus of the Caprifoliaceae family. The most obvious feature of this species is that it has large leaf-like bracts. It looks a bit like the South China honeysuckle, but the bracts of that species are narrow and not leaf-like, the calyx tube is densely covered with short soft hairs, and the twigs are densely covered with curly short soft hairs, which are obviously different from this species. The morphological variation of this species is very large, with great changes in the hairs of branches and leaves, the shape and size of leaves, the length of the corolla, the hairs, and the ratio of the length of the lip to the tube. However, all these changes seem to be more related to the ecological environment and do not show a correlation with geographical distribution.
