Abstract
Syringa vulgaris L., or common lilac is a horticulturally important member of the Oleaceae, a family in which other economically significant genera (Olea, Fraxinus, Jasminum, Forsythia) also occur. Thirty species of Syringa are found distributed across the temperate and south temperate zones of Europe and Asia, while the common lilac has been introduced even more widely as an ornamental. A woody shrub (or small tree) in habit (Fig. 1), lilac is typical of the 01eaceae in having opposite leaves, a calyx of four fused sepals and a corolla of four united petals. The highly scented flowers occur in thyrses, each branch bearing a terminal flower.
