파리괴불나무 Lonicera xylosteum

 

유럽, 코카서스, 시베리아, 중국 등지에 분포하는 인동속의 관목이다. 이 종은 꿀벌보다는 파리에 의해 수분되어 fly honeysuckle이라 불리고 줄기와 잎과 꽃이 작아서 dwarf honeysuckle이라 불리기도 한다. 국가표준식물목록의 국명은 '파리괴불나무'이다.

 

광택있는 붉은(때로는 노란) 열매는 인간에게 약간 독성이 있어 많은 열매를 섭취하는 경우 복통과 구토를 일으킬 수 있다.‎

Lonicera xylosteum, commonly called European fly honeysuckle, is a mounding, rapid-growing, deciduous shrub that matures on arching, hollow, pubescent, brown stems to 6-10’ tall with a slightly wider spread to 10-12’ wide. It is native to most of Europe east through certain parts of temperate Asia (Caucasus, Turkey, Siberia, China). It has escaped gardens and naturalized throughout much of the northeastern quarter of the continental U.S. from New England to Minnesota south to Kansas and Virginia plus the Pacific Northwest. Pubescent, short-stalked, broad-elliptic to ovate or obovate leaves (to 2 1/ 2” long) emerge silver-green in early spring, but mature to gray-green or blue-green. Leaves retain good green color late into fall (no fall color other than a few purple tinges). Yellowish-white flowers (to 5/8” long) borne in pairs bloom in late spring (May-early June). Flowers are often tinged with red. Flowers are followed by dark red berries which ripen in July-August. Berries lack ornamental attractiveness.  (출처 :  Lonicera xylosteum - Plant Finder (missouribotanicalgarden.org)
