Systematics

Syringa pinetorum is a kind from the genus of Lilac ( Syringa ) in the family of Oleaceae (Oleaceae). There the genus is assigned to the tribe Oleeae. The species was first described scientifically in 1916 by William Wright Smith . The genus name Syringa was chosen by Linnaeus in 1753, previously from around the 16th century the name was used both for the common lilac ( Syringa vulgaris ) and for the European pipe bush ( Philadelphus coronarius ). It was probably derived from the Greek "syrigs", a wind instrument that can be made from the branches of the pipe bush.
