The '''Caprifoliaceae''' or '''honeysuckle family''' are a [[clade]] of [[dicotyledon]]ous [[flowering plant]]s consisting of about 860 species<ref name="mobot.org">http://www.mobot.org/MOBOT/research/APweb/welcome.html</ref> in 42 genera, with a nearly [[cosmopolitan distribution]]. Centres of diversity are found in eastern [[North America]] and eastern [[Asia]], while they are absent in tropical and southern [[Africa]].

They are mostly [[shrub]]s and [[vine]]s, rarely herbs, including some ornamental garden plants in temperate regions. The [[leaf|leaves]] are mostly opposite with no stipules (appendages at the base of a leafstalk or [[leaf|petiole]]), and may be either [[evergreen]] or [[deciduous]]. The [[flower]]s are tubular funnel-shaped or bell-like, usually with five outward spreading lobes or points, and are often fragrant. They usually form a small calyx with small bracts. The [[fruit]] is in most cases a [[berry (botany)|berry]] or a [[drupe]]. The genera ''Diervilla'' and ''Weigela'' have [[Capsule (fruit)|capsular]] fruit.

==Taxonomy==
 
−
Views of the family-level classification of the traditionally accepted Caprifoliaceae and other plants in the botanical order [[Dipsacales]] have been considerably revised in recent decades.  Most botanists now accept the placement of two of the most familiar members of this group, the elderberries (''[[Sambucus]]'') and the viburnums ''[[Viburnum]]'', in the family [[Adoxaceae]] instead; these were formerly classified here.
 
−
 
 
−
Several other families of the more broadly treated Caprifoliaceae ''s.l.'' are separated by some but not all authors; these are treated as subfamilies in the listing of selected genera below,<ref name="mobot.org"/> along with estimated numbers of species.

The plants belonging to this family are mainly hardy [[ornamental plant|ornamental]] shrubs or vines, many popular garden  shrubs, especially ''Abelia'', ''Lonicera'', and ''Weigela''. A few have become invasive weeds outside of their native ranges (such as ''Lonicera japonica'').
