Chen | Beijing Shi, China | NA | | | 1994 | COLLECTED | 09/18/1994 | Da Zhuang Ke (Old Village), Song Shan Forest Preserve, Yanqing County, PRC. | 40.53333333, 115.78333333 | 1190 | Growing in open full sun site in rocks with soils between; very well-drained; growing 5 meters above the stream in association with Syringa pekinensis, Philadelphus sp., Rhamnus sp. and Clematis sp. | Wild material | Received as Syringa patula. Reidentified as Syringa villosa by Dr. William Hess, Curator of the Herbarium, The Morton Arboretum, Lisle, Illinois. [Note: the prominent lenticels seen on the fruits point to S. pubescens, not S. villosa, as the likely ID for this material; according to the Flora of China, the capsules of S. villosa are smooth or nearly so. Emily Johnson checked our three living plants at South Farm on 4/13/2023 when they were flowering and confirmed that they are S. pubescens subsp. patula, not S. villosa. -SBL] | 1511110 | NA 64571 |

The sites range from nearly xeric to dry mesic, at least on the surface. Plants are generally growing 4-10 m above the normal flow of the river; however, the Holtwood Dam is less than 1 kilometer upstream and debris found trapped in the boulders indicates that there is periodic flooding, at least, in the lower zone of 4+ meters or so above normal river flow. This habitat has a diverse assemblage of deciduous trees and shrubs as well as abundant herbaceous taxa. Slope: 0 to 60 percent. Aspect: Northeast (generally). Geology: The underlying geology of this area is probably of lower Paleozoic age and characterized as the Octoraro Formation. It includes albite-chlorite schist, phyllite, some hornblende gneiss, and granitized members. Soils: The area where this species occurs is right on the edge of two soil zones that transition from the river’s edge to mesic conditions upslope. The first is generally referred to as Rock Outcrop. This terrestrial matrix in which plants grow is largely exposed underlying rock geology with accumulated outwash, rock decomposition, and organic debris buildup. The second is Mt. Airy (80%) and Manor (20%) Series soils, 25 to 60 percent slopes, extremely stony (MRF). (Source: California Soil Resource Lab/NRCS Official Soil Series Descriptions).
