I have a nice vine at my old house. I took a cutting from it when I left and I am planning to trying it in my chameleons cage. I need to find something to transplant it in.... Although I really had intentions of using it in a outdoor cage. Money is tight since I lost my job so no outside cage this year

But honeysuckle is a folkname. I’ve heard these vibes and I’ve heard hibiscus called honeysuckle lol
I've never heard hibiscus called honeysuckle. Hibiscus in my book is nothing like honeysuckle....that just my experience though. I have several hibiscus in my yard and several honeysuckles.

If you mean a common name, I believe the whole genus of Lonicera (180 species) goes by 'honeysuckle'.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honeysuckle
I've heard of tropical hibiscus sometimes referred to as 'honeysuckle rose'

IDK about calling them just honeysuckle. My botanical knowledge is limited.

In Florida everyone calls hibiscus just ‘Honeysuckle’ I know because I lived there.
Yes, all species of Lonicera are referred to as Honeysuckle. Especially in Appalachia. Although, even trumpet vines are referred to as Honeysuckle.

No, I didn’t mean a common name. I meant folkname, like I said. It’s a name people in the Southeast have just attributed to any vining plant with flowers.

Pretty much the same thing. I just wanted to make sure.
Folkname: Alternative spelling of folk name.
Folk name: A non-official name ; a name used in common parlance as opposed to an official name.
Wikipedia (and other sources) often list multiple 'other names', which may be common names or 'folk names'—including regional names.

And they are different, scientists use common names. Other people use folknames.

Then who uses official/scientific names?
IME, scientists use official/scientific names. Other people use whatever the heck they want.

They use scientific names obviously but they’re not always gonna spit out ‘Magnolia Grandifloria’ or ‘Quercas Virginiania’ they’ll use common names, I took forestry and botany classes and had the opportunity to meet and learn from a lot of folks in Florida on the subject of botany. They’re not gonna call a trumpet vine a honeysuckle…they’re not gonna speak all the Latin. they’re gonna call it a trumpet vine. They don’t always spit out the full Latin. There’s no reason when your audience knows what you’re speaking about.

When scientists/people want to be understood unambiguously—and/or in writing—they use the Latin.

Not yellow trumpet vine, trumpet creeper, cow itch vine, or hummingbird vine?
But I don't think 'trumpet vine' is a reasonable example; AFAIK, 'trumpet vine' applies exclusively to that one species, and in any scholarly article, paper, study, etc. it's still going to be specified as Campsis radicans in case there is some other species known by that common name.
A better example might be 'umbrella plant'.

You’re really pissing me off. Any time I legit say anything you come out of the woodwork and criticize my every move. I’ll go to an old post and you pop out of nowhere and find small things I say to make a big deal out of. I’m tired of it. Muck off. I get occasionally tuning in to help but you repeatedly pop up to criticize. That’s not helpful.

Probably none of my business, but there is a saying, "If you can't take the heat, stay out the kitchen"
Just throwing this out, I recently became an ISA certified arborist, and work in a nursery, we are not scientist but we rarely use common names,
a common name is whatever you want to call plant, and anybody can come up with a common name
