An announcement boomed out from the four loud-speakers which clustered back to back like the florets of moschatel. From Wordnik.com. [Mrs. Miniver] Reference
In the Caprifoliaceae we have small and regular greenish flowers, as in the moschatel (Adoxa); more conspicuous regular open flowers without honey, as in the elder (Sambucus); and tubular flowers increasing in length and irregularity, till in some, like our common honeysuckle, they are adapted for fertilisation by moths only, with abundant honey and delicious perfume to attract them.
