Dr. Ger : (Chin-yin-hua) - "Lonicera japonica".
As known as Er Hua / 二花 and Yín Huā / 银花 [銀花]
"When the flowers first open, they are silver white; they then change to golden yellow after two or three days. Thus, when old and new flowers are collected together, their colors suggested the most common names for this herb: gold silver flowers (Jin Yín Huā / 金银花), two treasures flowers (Er Bao Hua / 二宝花 [二寶花]), double flowers (Er Hua / 二花)" (Bensky, pg. 150)
