About Lonicera caprifolium L.
Lonicera caprifolium, commonly known as Italian woodbine, perfoliate honeysuckle, goat-leaf honeysuckle, Italian honeysuckle, or perfoliate woodbine, is a species of perennial flowering plant in the genus Lonicera of the Caprifoliaceae family. It is native to regions of Europe, and has become naturalised in South East Britain and northeastern North America. This species can be easily told apart from Europe's most common honeysuckle species, Lonicera periclymenum, by its perfoliate topmost leaves — the trait that gives the species its Latin name, where the stem seems to grow directly through the center of the leaf. It is a vigorous deciduous climbing plant that can reach heights of up to 8 metres. In midsummer, it produces large clusters of very fragrant cream-colored flowers that are tinged with pink.
