    ah,the joys of common names eh?

    "Leycesteria formosa, the Himalayan honeysuckle, flowering nutmeg, Himalaya nutmeg or pheasant berry, is a deciduous shrub in the family Caprifoliaceae, native to the Himalaya and southwestern China."

    Take your pick but it's only got one Botanical name.     ;)

    Common names are easier to google! :) 

    Although with auto complete...

    Some totally different plant have the same common name. 
    Rock Rose = Helianthemum and Cistus.
    Just sayin'
    BTW what's " auto complete"?
    Devon.

    Ah, that I did not know!

    Auto complete, well, what I mean is google suggestions, is when you start typing something in the google search bar, and you write a few letters or so and it gives you suggestions, predicting what you are searching for.

    Try it with leyc... it should suggest 'leycesteria formosa'
