Caprifoliaceae belongs to the order Dipsacales. It is also known as Honeysuckle family.
The Caprifoliaceae, or honeysuckle family, includes a range of flowering plants such as woody vines, shrubs, and some herbaceous forms, mostly native to temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere. Characterized by opposite leaves and tubular or bell-shaped flowers, many species attract pollinators and are valued for their fragrance or fruit. Members of this family thrive in woodlands, forest edges, and gardens, contributing to both biodiversity and ornamental appeal.
Among its edible representatives is Lonicera caerulea, known as honeyberry or haskap. Native to northern and alpine regions of Eurasia and North America, this hardy shrub produces elongated blue berries rich in antioxidants and vitamins. The fruit has a tangy-sweet flavor and is increasingly cultivated in cool climates for use in jams, juices, and fresh consumption.
