Syringa affinis, L. Henry (S. oblata var. alba, Hort.). Slender, loosely branched shrub; lvs. broadly ovate, acuminate, truncate at the base, finely pubescent while young, particularly on vigorous shoots, on flowering branchlets sometimes glabrous or nearly so, 1 1/2 – 2 1/2 in. long and l 1/3 – 2 1/3 in. broad: infl. slender and rather loose, 4-5 1/2 in. long: calyx distinctly 4-toothed; corolla white, tube 1/3 in. long. May. N. China. Var. Giraldii, Schneid. (S. Giraldii, Lemoine, not S. Giraldiana, Schneid.). Lvs. usually more densely pubescent while young: infl. 5-6 in. long, fls. purplish lilac; rachis, pedicels, and calyx purple-violet. N. W. China. R.H. 1909, p. 335.—The earliest of the lilacs to bloom and the fls. do not suffer from frost as do those of S. oblata. Hybrids of var. Giraldii with S. vulgaris have been raised recently by Lemoine, which flower nearly two weeks before the earliest varieties of S. vulgaris; such are "Lamartine" with rose-mauve fls. and "Mirabeau" with rosy lilac fls.
