HONEYSUCKLE FAMILY 
CAPRIFOLIACEZ® 
Twin-FLoweR. To the botanist the beautiful 
little blossoms of the Twin-flower or Linnza are 
valued not only for their delicate beauty and 
delicious fragrance but also because this blossom 
was chosen to perpetuate the name of the great 
founder of botanical science— 
Linneus, the Swedish natural- 
ist. In its structure the flower 
is also of decided interest. The 
inside of the blossom is filled 
W with hairs projecting trans- 
versely from the corolla, while 
the outside of the flower-stalk 
and the calyx is covered with 
EINNGEA glandular hairs. Both of these 
are evidently devices for preventing the visits of 
ants and other unbidden guests. The stigma pro- 
jects beyond the stamens, so that cross-fertiliza- 
tion is insured. The flower is probably visited 
by small bees. 
The Twin-flower is one of the very few herba- 
ceous plants that belong to the great Honeysuckle 
family, most of the members of which are shrubs. 
This family includes the numerous species of
