Nomenclatural Notes
Status: nom. inval. provisional name [protologue: Philadelphus Falconeri, a name which is only used provisionally and until something more of the history and origin of this plant can be determined, is a beautiful shrub here, with spreading stems, eight or ten feet tall, and ovate-acute, smooth, glabrous three-nerved leaves furnished above the middle with a few minute remote teeth, and about two and a half inches long. The flowers are fragrant and are borne in few-flowered lax panicles, on elongated slender, glabrous pedicels, and are about an inch long, with ovate-acute glabrous calyx-lobes rather less than half the length of the narrowly obovate acute white petals. The fruit is not distinguishable from that of Philadelphus coronarius, except in the rather longer calyx-lobes.]
