nursery. The flowers are a clear creamy white in both the narrow and 
broad drooping flower clusters typical of this species. In habit it resembles 
Syringa reflexa, but it has somewhat paler leaves. $3.00 each. 

S. ROTHOMAGENSIS—See Hybrid Lilacs, p. 12. 
S. RUGULOSA Not in cultivation. Collected in the mountains of 
Yunnan, China by E. E. Maire in 1914. The flowers have been described 
both as white and rose-violet. 
S. SWEGINZOWI (Chengtu Lilac) We owe the introduction of this 
species here to the late E. H. Wilson, who found it in the Tibetan border- 
lands in 1904. It is a broad, upright-growing shrub of good habit, which 
blossoms so profusely that its slender, twiggy branches are curved down- 
ward by the slightly fragrant, pale rose colored flower clusters. This 
pleasing effect, combined with its symmetrical form and the beauty of 
its dark, dull green foliage, makes this a Lilac of surpassing loveliness. 
S. SWEGINZOWI SUPERBA Introduced by the firm of V. Lemoine 
& Sons as an improved form of S. sweginzowi. Awarded a medal by the 
Royal Horticultural Society. E. H. Wilson has pronounced it identical 
with S. sweginzowt. 
S. TOMENTELLA (Felty Lilac) Discovered by two travelers, M. 
Bonvalot and Prince Henri d’Orleans, in 1890 in Szechwan Province, 
China. Introduced into cultivation by E. H. Wilson who found it first in 
1905. Three years later he saw it in flower on the frontiers of eastern 
Tibet and he says, in his Aristocrats of the Garden, “I thought then that I 
had never before seen such a handsome species of Lilac. It had foot-high 
broad panicles of pink to rosy-lilac colored flowers.” This fragrant 
species blossoms later than the Common Lilac. (Illus. p. 22.) 
S. VELUTINA (Korean Lilac) Discovered in the Korean mountains 
by V. L. Komarov in 1897 and brought to the United States in 1917 by 
E. H. Wilson. An upright-growing shrub with slender branches and 
attractive foliage. Its clusters of beautiful, pale lilac colored blossoms are 
pleasingly fragrant and produced in abundance. 
S. VELUTINA var. PALIBINIANA The S. palibiniana of foreign 
catalogs. A variety of S. velutina distinguished by its more glabrous leaves. 
(Our authority for listing this as a variety of S. velutina is based upon a 
letter received from Mr. E. H. Wilson in which he says it “constitutes a 
good variety” of S. velutina.)
