Fragrant Honeysuckle or honeysuckle ( Lonicera caprifolium )

The Honeysuckle family ( Caprifoliaceae, from Latin capra = goat and folium = the leaf ) are a family of plants in the order of the card -like ( Dipsacales ).

System

Molecular genetic studies in the order of the card -like ( Dipsacales ) since around 1998 led to the fact that the boundaries of the families were moved this order. It was divided and reclassified into several small families; then were the many small families to a large family of Caprifoliaceae sl summarized. After APG III, the former as an independent family -run families Diervillaceae, teasel, Linnaeaceae, Morinaceae and Valerianaceae were incorporated into the Caprifoliaceae. In contrast, other work go, for example, the working group headed by Charles C. Bell, Department of Biological Sciences, University of New Orleans, assume that there are separate families, especially in Valerianaceae, is.

To the family of Honeysuckle ( Caprifoliaceae ) in the expanded scope includes a single genus and six subfamilies with about 40 genera:
