Syringa villosa |
Syringa villosa, the villous lilac, [1] is a shrub native to Korea, the southern part of the Russian Far East ( Primorye) and northern China. There are two subspecies currently recognized (April 2014); [2] these are regarded as separate species in Flora of China. [3] [4] Combining the ranges for the two taxa yields a range within China of Hebei, Shanxi, Heilongjiang, Jilin, and Liaoning.
Syringa villosa is a shrub that grows up to 4 meter tall, with red, white, pink or purple flowers. [4] [5] The flowers are long and highly fragrant, and flower in early summer. [6]
