The last four species are very common, with many hybrids, and thus intermediate forms are known. Diervflla and Weigdla are genera closely related to Lonicera and are often popularly called honeysuckles. Lonioeras have fleshy few-seeded berries for fruit, while Diervillas and Weigelas have dry oblong many- seeded capsules. Diervilla and Weigela are often united under the name Diervilla, but for our purpose had better be considered as separate. The DiEuviLLAS proper have small, ^1 inch long, slender-tubed, 2- lipped, yellow flowers of no great beauty and seldom found in cul- FiQ. 385. — Common Weigela. Fig. 386.— Large-flowered Weigela. The Weigelas are among our most popular flowering shrubs, with large funnel-shaped, 5-lobed corollas of many colors. The leaves are opposite, simple, feather-veined with notched edges. Besides the four or five original species from eastern Asia, of which there are many varieties, there are an almost endless number of hybrids now in cultivation. In fact, the tendency is to cultivate only these hybrid forms, as the flowers.
