Syringa vulgaris is a scientific name for a lilac bush.

Specifically, the plant in question belongs to the genus Syringa. The genus' name comes from the Greek word Συρινξ (syrinx, "hollow pipe, hollow tube"), in recognition of an ancient practice of hollowing out the pith in shoots to make reed flutes and pipes. The genus includes over 20 species, of which a beloved, familiar form is S. vulgaris ("common lilac").
