Honeysuckle, Lonicera japonica, jin yin hua

The name "jin yin hua" can be translated from the pinyin to mean "silver gold flower", noting the appearance on the vine of both white and gold-colored flowers simultaneously. In Chinese medicine this herb is categorized to clear heat and relieve toxicity which would be similar to infectious disease or a fever due to bacterial or viral infection.
