Caprifoliaceae (from the old genus Caprifolium, meaning a goat-leaf, possibly in reference to the climbing habit). Honeysuckle Family. Fig. 55. Shrubs, very rarely herbs: leaves opposite, simple or pinnate: flowers bisexual, regular or irregular; calyx 4-5-toothed, or 4-5-fid; corolla gamopetalous, 4-5-lobed, tubular or rotate; stamens of the same number as the corolla-lobes and alternate with them, epipetalous; ovary inferior, 1-5-celled; each cell 1 to many-ovuled; style 1 or obsolete; stigmas 1-5: fruit a berry or capsule.

Many species of Honeysuckle exhale a sweet odor after sunset. The berries of Lonicera Caprifolium are said to be diuretic; those of L. Xylosteum are laxative. The berries of the European elder (Sambucus nigra), and of the American elder (S. canadensis) are cooked and eaten and are also made into wine. The dried flowers of elder were formerly used in cases of fever. The roots of the North American Triosteum perfoliatum furnish a kind of ipecac. Other species are locally used in medicine. Many are ornamental.

The '''Caprifoliaceae''' or '''honeysuckle family''' is a [[clade]] consisting of about 800 [[dicotyledon]]ous [[flowering plant]]s, with a nearly [[cosmopolitan distribution]]; centres of diversity are found in eastern [[North America]] and eastern [[Asia]], while they are absent in tropical and southern [[Africa]].

They are mostly [[shrub]]s and [[vine]]s, rarely herbs, including some ornamental garden plants in temperate regions. The [[leaf|leaves]] are mostly opposite with no stipules (= appendage at the base of a leafstalk or [[leaf |petiole]]), and may be either [[evergreen]] or [[deciduous]]. The [[flower]]s are tubular funnel-shaped or bell-like, usually with five outward spreading lobes or points, and are often fragrant. They usually form a small calyx with small bracts. The [[fruit]] is in most cases a [[berry]] or a [[drupe]]. The genera, ''Diervilla'' and ''Weigela'', have [[Capsule (fruit)|capsular]] fruit.

(with approximate numbers of species).
      
Much of the debate over the taxonomy of this group has been settled. Two of the most familiar members of the family, the [[elderberry|elder]] and the [[viburnum]], have been moved into [[Adoxaceae]], along with some other genera.

The plants belonging to this family are mainly hardy [[ornamental plant|ornamental]] shrubs or vines, many popular garden shrubs, especially ''Lonicera''. A few have become invasive weeds outside of their native ranges (such as ''Lonicera japonica'').
