shrub ID
This shrub is regenerating on an abandoned site (which also has a
variety of Cotoneasters, Viburnum lantana, Sorbia aria and intermedia, and a several other shrubs). It was photographed last Thursday, but I also saw it last autumn, with black berries. http://www.stewart.hinsley.me.uk/Images/Dicot29.jpg http://www.stewart.hinsley.me.uk/Images/Dicot30.jpg http://www.stewart.hinsley.me.uk/Images/Dicot31.jpg -- Stewart Robert Hinsley |

It is Lonicera involucrata ssp. involucrata. A US native that seemed
to grab the utility landscapers' attention for a while. Not the most spectacular of the shrubby honeysuckles, but pleasant enough viewed close-to. |

Maybe something like ledebourii? -- Jeff |

, Dave Poole writes It is Lonicera involucrata ssp. involucrata. A US native that seemed to grab the utility landscapers' attention for a while. Not the most spectacular of the shrubby honeysuckles, but pleasant enough viewed close-to. Thanks. Now that I know what it is I see the family resemblance (to xylosteum, nitida and pileata). -- Stewart Robert Hinsley |

L. involucrata ssp. ledebourii is the other ssp, of this Lonicera and having now looked at the third pic showing more mature flowers, realise that it is indeed ssp. ledebourii. The main telling factor is that in ssp. involucrata, the flowers are greenish yellow, ageing to yellow. In ssp. ledebourii, the flowers are yellow with a strong reddish orange, external flush as is more obvious in the third pic. |
