History, Use, Propagation, Culture, 
474. Caprifolium. A poetical name, signifying goat-leaf; that is to say, a leaf which climbs like a goat. 
Chevrefeuille, Fr., Geisblatt or Baumlilie, Ger., and Caprefoglio, ItaL This is a beautiful genus of flowering 
odoriferous mostly twining shrubs, valuable in the flower garden, shrubbery, and against walls, arbors, or 
trunks of trees. Like most British twiners, the honeysuckle follows the sun. Like other twiners, it bears 
pruning well, for, as Professor Martyn observes, " those plants which in a state of nature cannot ascend without 
the assistance of others, are often liable to lose large branches ; they have therefore a proportionate vigor of 
growth to restore accidental damages." Against a wall, the climbing kinds are very liable to attacks from 
aphides, and the caterpillar of Phaloena tortrix ; and the sphinges, or hawkmoths, according to Withering, 
extract the honey from the very bottom of the tubular flowers with their long tongues. 
In raising the honeysuckle from seeds, they should be sown the autumn after they are ripe, otherwise 
they will not come up the first year. Cuttings are sometimes apt to rot, owing to water lodging in their 
tubular stems above the last joint. To obviate this inconvenience, some make the cuttings of double the usual 
length, and insert both ends in the ground, leaving the part above ground in the form of a semicircle. Com- 
monly, however, such cuttings root only at one end; or if at both, but very weakly at what was the top end. 
475. Lonicera. Named after Adam Lonicer, a German, who was born in l.')28, and died in 1586. There 
was another Lonicer, John, who wrote commentaries upon Dioscorides. A section of what was formerly called 
Lonicera, comprising the species with a shrubby upright stem, neither climbing nor prostrate plants. All 
hardy and easily increased by layers or cuttings. 
476. Symphoria, is a syncope of symphoricarpos, from irvv, together, fi^u, to bear, and xet^^eg, fruit ; a plant 
which bears its fruit together in clusters. A small genus of low branching shrubs, formerly constituting part 
of Lonicera. 
477. Diervilla. Dierville, a French surgeon, travelled in Acadia, whence he sent this plant to his friend 
Tournefort, who named it after him. A pretty low shrub, with yellow flowers appearing in the spring. 
478. Triosteum. From r^ng, three, and os-iov, bone, three bones, on account of its three hard seeds. The 
roots of this genus and of DierviUa are used indiscriminately in N. America for Ipecacuana. ( Viola. Jpec.) 
479. Coffea. An alteration of the Arabic name qahoueh, which is the name for the liquor of cofFee ; the grain 
is called boun. Cahwa, Pars., Cahvey, Turk., and Eleave, Egypt.
