Morrow's honeysuckle (Lonicera morrowii)

This shrub can be found along a small deer trail behind several homes in Burnham, ME.Lonicera morrowii is a woody shrub that can grow up to 7 feet tall. Leaves are oppositely arranged, entire, and grow up to 1-2 inches long. It grows in a variety of environments including forests and wetland margins were there are rich, moist soils. The twig color is brown or grey in winter. I chose to include this species because it was very common in this area and displayed an obvious example of oppositely arranged leaves.
