The Chinese Lilacs. 

 Most of the Chinese Lilacs have the 

 advantage of flowering later than the 

 common Lilac. Several of the species 

 recently discovered in central and 

 western China are now established in 

 the Arboretum, and, flowering more 

 freely as the plants grow older now 

 begin to show their true value as gar- 

 den plants in this climate. Perhaps 

 the most distinct and certainly the 

 most unusual of these Lilacs is 

 Syringa reflexa. On this plant the 

 flower-cluster is compact, cylindric, 

 unbranched, from an inch to an inch

and a quarter in diameter, long 

 stalked and is gracefully arching and 

 reflexed. The flowers are deep rose- 

 color with a long slender corolla-tube, 

 and have the disagreeable odor, 

 although to a less degree than those of 

 the Chinese Syringa villosa to which 

 this species and the next are closely 

 related, as is shown in their ample 

 leaves dark green on the upper sur- 

 face and somewhat pale, and slightly 

 hairy on the lower surface. The other 

 species in this group now in flower, 

 Syringa Sargentiana. differs in its 

 rather paler flowers white on the inner 

 surface of the lobes of the corolla, and 

 arranged in large, loose, long-branched, 

 erect or spreading clusters sometimes 

 eighteen inches long and twelve inches 

 across. The leaves of this plant are 

 hardly distinguishable from those of 

 S. reflexa. 



Five of these new Lilacs belonging 

 to the group of which Syringa pubes- 

 cens may be taken as the type are 

 flowering freely this year: they all have 

 fragrant flowers, although less fra- 

 grant than those of S. pubescens, and 

 slender corolla-tubes. Syringa Koeh- 



neana, which is probably a native of 

 Korea, has broad leaves unusually 

 large for a species in this group, and 

 short, broad, compact clusters of flow- 

 ers which are pale rose-color on the 

 outside of the corolla-tubes and pure 

 white on the inner surface of the 

 corolla-lobes. 



Syringa microphylla, so named for 

 its small dark green leaves, is flower- 

 ing this year more freely than it has 

 in the Arboretum before; the flowers 

 are small, with narrow corolla-tubes, 

 and are pleasantly fragrant. Unlike 

 other Lilacs, S. microphylla has in 

 previous years flowered again in Octo- 

 ber. S. Sweginzowii is covered with 

 flowers again this spring, as it has 

 been now- for several seasons. It is a 

 tall shrub with dull green leaves and 

 narrow clusters of fragrant flowers 

 half an inch long, flesh-colored in the 

 bud, becoming nearly white after the 

 flowers open. This species blooms 

 freely as a small plant, and is perhaps 

 the most attractive of the new Lilacs 

 with slender corolla-tubes, although it 

 does not equal in beauty and fra- 

 grance S. pubescens.
