[Wikipedia] Range, Description: Lonicera interrupta, commonly known as chaparral honeysuckle, is a species of plant found in the western United States. It is native to chaparral and mixed forest habitats in the foothills and mountain ranges of California, and to some mountains in Arizona. Description Lonicera interrupta is a hardy shrub with a woody trunk. It is quite drought-tolerant. It sends up spiked inflorescences of yellow honeysuckle flowers. Each flower is about a centimeter long, with prominent stamens extending from the rolled-back lips. The flowers are attractive to hummingbirds. The fruits are red, spherical, and shiny.
