It so happened that under the term "wolf berries" are hiding different concepts.

1

First, wolf berries are one of the folk spares, which is called wolf Lyko (Other names are a wolter year, a typny, daphne). This amazing plant already in the spring begins to behave not as the other "good" bushes and trees: they first appear leaflets and only then - flowers. And the wolter year is first covered with beautiful pink flowers (in April-May), and only then releases on top of the branches of the vortex branches of narrow egg-shaped leaves.

Bright red wolf berries magnitude with a pea, sit right on branches of 2-3 pieces, like sea buckthorn.

Despite the fact that they look very appetizing, there are them in no case, as they are very poisonous! However, all parts of the plant have toxic poisonous. Even a small droplet of the plant juice, hitting the skin or mucous membrane of the lip or eye, causes irritation. If you eat a bridge of a typny, burning, nausea, vomiting, weakness, cramps can begin, the temperature will rise ... so try not to approach this beautiful bush!

"Wolf Lyko" ... why wolf? Probably because the wolves have long been in the people who were the personification of cunning, cruelty and evil. Why Lyko? But because the bark of the wolf (more precisely, the Lubyana layer under the crust) is very durable. Previously, it was made of paper, ropes, ropes and even napty splas. Anyone who tried to rip the branch of the wolf "for memory", knows: it is easy to break it, but it's already more difficult to tear off the bush. The reason is durable Lyko.

Only by reading these lines, please do not contact this plant, as with the enemy, if you are lucky enough to meet him in the forest! First, it is quite rare and listed in the Red Book. Secondly, Wolf Lyko is a wonderful honey, and it blooms at that time when other colors are still very small. Thirdly, a typical is a medicinal plant. Fourth, despite the poisonousness, for some reason, the birds can eat the fruits of the stupid without any harm for themselves, so do not deprive the birds of this food source.

Wolf berries are sometimes called forest honeysuckle. Its berries are very similar to the wolf scroll berries:

It is possible to distinguish it from the stubborn in two signs: its berries on short flower makers depart from the nodes (that is, from there, where leaves come from), and not from interstitial. In addition, the berries of the honeysuckle are sitting two. They are not poisonous as the berries of Wolf Lyk, but still inedible. I share the berry - and at the first moment there is a sweet taste, but almost immediately feel a strong bitterness in my mouth, which is not going through for a long time.

By the way, the honeysuckle Forest - close relative of the honeysuckle edible. Its blue, with a sizem, berries, have a thin aroma and a bitter-sour taste, resembling a blueberry, contain a lot of useful substances and are valued as healing. It is bred in the gardens.
