Notes
Honeysuckle is possibly the most common shrub in the Glebe. It tends to grow in scraggly clumps. The bark
can be fairly dark with whitish areas. Noted in the top photo was a tendency for one of the oppositely-paired leaves
to remain undeveloped in several cases - at least at this early stage.
