Have taken a quick look at the Kew herbarium site. There are no specimens to view of two of the Lonicera species recorded from Ladakh. Of the others, 4 do not come close to the images taken by ushaprabha. However, *Lonicera semenovii* looks a possibility. Unfortunately, the images are not at a resolution that permits close inspection of the foliage, so cannot be more than speculative. Whilst digitised images of herbarium specimens are useful, they have their limitations, in the typical way they are done. One can learn much more from close inspection in person of *quality* herbarium sheets, whose identification can be relied upon. Some of the digitised images available on the Kew Herbarium site are of 19th Century collections - which vary in quality and sometimes their age means features have deteriorated somewhat. Another thing to bear in mind is that when searching for a particular species, the original names on the pressed specimens are used - which may be out-of-date, so unless you know the older synonyms, you may struggle to find the images you are after. Or it may be that specimens of the species you are looking for have not been digitised yet. Whilst Kew has millions of specimens, it does not examples of every species from India - nor have they all been digitised.

Garg" <[email protected]> I agree that the images are of a Lonicera in fruit - though the final photo does not fully match the first two. Have always found Lonicera a difficult genus identification-wise. Dickore & Klimes list 7 Lonicera species in Ladakh: *L.asperifolia*, L.caerulea, L.heterophylla, L.microphylla, L.obovata L.semenovii and *L.spinosa*. Cannot match the images with what information I have on these species at this stage.
