Syringa
Syringa (lilac; family Oleaceae) A genus of shrubs and small trees with
simple, oval,
opposite leaves, 4-lobed
corollas,
capsular fruits, and winged seeds. The
panicles of fragrant, lilac-coloured, white, or purple flowers make this a favourite garden shrub. The name ‘syringa’ is sometimes misleadingly applied to
Philadelphus (mock orange), which is not related to lilac. There are 25 species, occurring from south-eastern Europe to eastern Asia.
