Syringa villosa
Species of flowering plant
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Syringa villosa, the villous lilac or late lilac[1][2] 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);[3] these are regarded as separate species in Flora of China.[4][5] Combining the ranges for the two taxa yields a range within China of Hebei, Shanxi, Heilongjiang, Jilin, and Liaoning.
