	~~Describe~~ the ~~plant here~~...		'''''Fontanesia''''' is a [[genus (biology)\|genus]] of [[flowering plant]]s in the family [[Oleaceae]], usually treated as comprising a single species '''''Fontanesia philliraeoides''''', though some authors split this into two species (see below). It is native to southern [[Europe]] ([[Sicily]]), southwestern [[Asia]] ([[Lebanon]], [[Syria]], [[Turkey]]) and eastern [[Asia]] ([[China]]), with two well-separated populations.<ref name=foc>Flora of China: [http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=2&taxon_id=112917 ''Fontanesia'' genus page], [http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=2&taxon_id=210000542 ''Fontanesia philliraeoides'' species page]</ref><ref name=grin>Germplasm Resources Information Network: [http://www.ars-grin.gov/cgi-bin/npgs/html/taxon.pl?214 ''Fontanesia philliraeoides'']</ref><ref name=fe>Flora Europaea: [http://rbg-web2.rbge.org.uk/cgi-bin/nph-readbtree.pl/feout?FAMILY_XREF=&GENUS_XREF=Fontanesia&SPECIES_XREF=&TAXON_NAME_XREF=&RANK= ''Fontanesia'']</ref>

			It is a [[deciduous]] [[shrub]] growing to 8 m tall. The [[leaf\|leaves]] are opposite, lanceolate to narrow ovate, 3–12 cm long and 8–26 mm broad, with an acute apex and a usually entire margin, sometimes finely serrated. The [[flower]]s are white, with a deeply four-lobed [[Corolla (flower)\|corolla]]; they are produced in [[panicle]]s 2–6 cm long. The [[fruit]] is a flat [[Samara (fruit)\|samara]], surrounded by a wing.<ref name=foc/>

			There are two [[subspecies]],<ref name=foc/><ref name=grin/><ref name=rhs>Huxley, A., ed. (1992). ''New RHS Dictionary of Gardening''. Macmillan ISBN 0-333-47494-5.</ref> often treated in the past as separate species.<ref name=bean2>Bean, W. J. (1978). ''Trees and Shrubs Hardy in the British Isles'' 8th ed., vol. 2. John Murray ISBN 0-7195-2256-0.</ref> Despite the distance separating the two, the differences between them are minimal; the leaves of subsp. ''philliraeoides'' are sometimes cited as having finely serrated margins, but this character is not reliable.<ref name=bean2/>
			*'''''Fontanesia philliraeoides'' subsp. ''philliraeoides'''''. Southern Europe, southwest Asia. Leaves up to 8 cm long, dull green above.
			*'''''Fontanesia philliraeoides'' subsp. ''fortunei''''' (Carr.) Yalt. (syn. ''F. fortunei'' Carr.; ''F. phillyreoides'' var. ''sinensis'' Debeaux). China (Anhui, Hebei, Henan, Hubei, Jiangsu, Shaanxi, Shandong, Zhejiang). Leaves up to 12 cm long, glossy green above.

			The species name is often erroneously cited as "''phillyreoides''".

			{{Inc\|
			Fontanesia (after Rene Louiche Desfontaines, prominent French botanist, 1752-1833, director of the botanical garden at Paris). Oleaceae. Shrubs grown for their handsome foliage.

			Deciduous, glabrous: branches quadrangular: lvs. opposite, short-petioled entire: fls. perfect, small, in axillary clusters forming terminal leafy panicles; calyx minute, 4-parted; petals 4, narrow, small; stamens 2, exceeding the petals; ovary superior, usually 2-celled; stigma 2-lobed: fr. a flat, winged nutlet.—Two species in W. Asia and China.

			These are slender-branched shrubs with rather narrow leaves and small whitish flowers in short terminal panicles. They retain the foliage unchanged until late in fall, and are well adapted for shrubberies, growing in any good garden soil. F. fortunei is hardy as far north as Massachusetts, F. phillyraeoides only half- hardy. Propagation is readily effected by greenwood cuttings under glass in early summer; also by layers and by seed.
