S. JOSIKAEA (Hungarian Lilac) A native of southeastern Europe. 
Sometime prior to 1830 Baroness von Josika, an ardent botanist, found it 
growing on her estate in Transylvania. Its slightly fragrant violet-blue 
blossoms are borne on rather loose, leafy panicles a foot long. Leaves are 
lustrous dark green. $1.50 each.

S. JULIANAE (Juliana Lilac) Discovered in 1901 by E. H. Wilson, on 
a mountain cliff in western Hupeh, China. A low-growing, broad shrub, 
attaining a height of about five feet, with horizontally spreading branches 
and small velvety leaves. The rather short, fragrant flower clusters are 
borne profusely on slender, twiggy branches. Florets are violet-purple on 
the outer surface of the corolla and white within, with violet anthers. 
This contrast of color in the inflorescence makes S. julianae a particularly 
striking and beautiful species. $3.00 each. 
S. KOEHNEANA (Schneider Lilac)—Identical with S. velutina. 
S. KOMAROVI (Komarof Lilac) Named in honor of V. L. Komarov, a 
Russian botanist. This species is closely related to S. reflexa and has the 
same nodding flower panicles, although they are not so markedly pendu- 
lous. Its color is deep pink—the deepest pink of any known Lilac. It is a 
native of the Chinese province of Szechwan. 
S. MEYERI (Meyer Lilac) A hardy dwarf plant with small leaves and 
flowers, found in cultivation near Peiping in 1908. This species is not 
known in the wild state. It bears compact trusses of fragrant dark purple 
blossoms, distinguished by unusually long, slender corolla tubes. It some- 
times blooms twice in a season, but not so profusely as S. microphylla.
