Flower/Fruit: Fl. Per.: May-June.
Type: Type: “Habitat in Persia”.
Distribution: Distribution: Cultivated, possibly originated along the Great Silk Route when Syringa laciniata met with endemic Syringa afghanica. Now in gardens all over the world.
Comment/Acknowledgements: Studies on garden specimens of Syringa persica (K. Sax, Journ. Arn. Arb. 9: 7. 1930) revealed that this species has to be treated as a hybrid, due to its sterility. Thus Syringa laciniata which was long regarded as a variety of Syringa persica should be in the rank of a species. It is obvious then that Syringa persica is a hybrid between Syringa laciniata and another species, most probably Syringa afghanica.

In Pakistan, however, it seems that Syringa laciniata is more widely cultivated than F. x persica, although herbarium specimens do not always show a clear distinction.

Map Location: B-8 Gupkar near Srinagar, G.A. Gammie, s.n., 10th July, 1891 (K) (Specimen with undivided leaves).
