Syringa is a genus of 12 currently recognized species of flowering woody plants in the olive family or Oleaceae[1] called lilacs. These lilacs are native to woodland and scrub from southeastern Europe to eastern Asia, and widely and commonly cultivated in temperate areas elsewhere.[2][3][4][5]
The genus is most closely related to Ligustrum (privet), classified with it in Oleaceae tribus Oleeae subtribus Ligustrinae.[6]
Lilacs are used as food plants by the larvae of some moth species, including lilac leaf mining moth[7], privet hawk moth[8], copper underwing, scalloped oak and Svensson's copper underwing.
