Daphne odora, Thunbg. (D. sinensis, Lam. D. indica, Loisel., not Linn.). Shrub, to 4 ft., with glabrous branches: Lvs. oblong-elliptic, acute at both ends, bluntly pointed, glabrous, 2-3 in. long: fls. in dense, terminal heads, very fragrant, white to purple; ovary glabrous; bracts 6-10, lanceolate, persistent. Winter and spring. China, Japan. Gn. 28:8. J.H. III. 50:367. V. 4:318. Gng. 2:211. Var. alba, Hemsl. Fls. white. Var. punctata, Hemsl. Fls. in dense heads, white, spotted outside with red. B.M. 1587. Var. marginata, Hort. Lvs. bordered yellow: fls. red. Var. rubra, Sweet. Fls. purple.—By some botanists D. odora and D. sinensis, Lam. (D. indica, Loisel.), are considered distinct species: D. odora has larger fls. about ¾ in. long, glabrous outside, the bracts shorter than the fls., and usually oval Lvs., while D. sinensis has fls. about Win. long, slightly silky outside, the bracts longer than the fls., and usually oblong-elliptic Lvs.; but it is doubtful whether these characters are constant.—D. odorata, Hort., is a common misprint in catalogues for D. odara. D. odorata, Lam. (syn. D. Cneorum). CH The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture.
