Abeliophyllum distichum Nakai - Oleaceae - white forsythia, Weiße Forsythie, Schneeforsythie
Endangered deciduous shrub, up to 1.50m high, native to Korea, cultivated as ornamental.
„It is grown primarily for its very early, often profuse, spring bloom which consists of dense axillary clusters of white (sometimes with a pink tinge), 4-petaled, slightly fragrant flowers which open from purple buds in late March and cover the naked stems before the leaves unfold. Bloom slightly precedes related true forsythias. After bloom, the medium green foliage is generally unremarkable and produces little if any fall color.“

2-aminobenzaldehyde
The flowers own a highly characteristic scent „… which is very much dominated, in quality and nearly also in quantity, by the 2-aminobenzaldehyde.“ [headspace 16.5%]
