Lonicera xylosteum
Deciduous shrub, up to some 3m in height. White flowers, later replaced by bright red berries come in pairs, pointing upwards. Toxic. The fruit can be seen here: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/873...
Eurasian shrub, often found in forests growing in shadow. Here, found in a beautiful Bagasse forest (deciduous, predominantly oak, forest) on France-Switzerland border, in a valley of lake Geneva, just in between Jura and Alps mountains ranges.
Berries are mildly toxic, can provoke abdominal pains and diarrhea.
