 This Lilac is widely distributed over Corea except the northern 

 extremities where S. hirsuta, S. vclutina and S. micrantha substitute 

 to this. This has been considered to be S. amurensis by Schneider, 

 but has no affinity to it. Leveille's descriptions are always in a few 

 words and as that of this species was incomprehensible to me, I went 

 to Aomori and saw the Faurie's co-type specimens numbered 715 and 

 929. Both of them have loose panicles and are a form most common 

 in Middle-Corea. Their stamens are not exerted as Leveille said. 

 Syringa Palibiniana is a form of it having short inflorescence.
