Hi Jim,

The USDA GRIN system lists one species, K. amabilis, common name, Beauty
Bush.  Caprifoliaceae family.  Shrub, arching branches, 2.5 meters tall,
brown seed capsules.  Native to China.  You can see a picture of it at

And, then
<http://pathfinder.com/vg/TimeLife/CG/Books/E15/Html/E15045X.html> shows
more detail of the blossoms, and also gives more complete information
about the species, including how to grow it.

Hope this helps,
Ken Osborn
