From the morphological point of view, its flowers are mostly single, occasionally two United, with a relatively strong aroma, color is mostly white or pink. The leaves are ovate, with a pointed apex and a serrulate margin. The fruit tastes sour and ripens in May-June. From the point of view of growth habits, it is not afraid of cold, winter can also blossom, and life is relatively long, the longest is more than 1600 years old.

1. Different Smells

The difference between the two is quite obvious.From the smell can be distinguished, the smell of honeysuckle is very deep, the fragrance is too strong, the scope of distribution will be farther.The smell of honeysuckle is very fresh and charming, which makes people want to smell, and the smell is lighter than the former.

2. different flowers

They can also be easily identified when they are in bloom.The flowers of Lonicera confusa are dark green and may have some purple in them.The flower shape is small, and the fluff on the bud is less, and the hand feeling is hard.The flower type of honeysuckle is relatively large, the bud is full, and the color is yellow.The fluff of bud is much, feel is soft, feel more comfortable.If the two plants are put together after flowering, they can be clearly distinguished.

3. Different Efficacy

Flos Lonicerae is sweet in taste, cold in nature and slightly sour in taste. It has high medicinal value and can treat wind-heat type common cold, erysipelas, carbuncle, swelling, furuncle and other diseases. It also has the effects of promoting menstruation and blood circulation, clearing away heat and toxic materials, and cooling blood.But the mountain honeysuckle has exactly the opposite effect, it is cool, can not clear heat and detoxification, so we must distinguish between the two, to avoid bad consequences.
