Syringa oblata Lindl. - Oleaceae - broadleaf lilac, early blooming lilac, Rundblättriger Flieder
Shrub or small tree to 4m tall, native to China and Korea; leaves ovate-orbicular to reniform; flowers fragrant, lilac (various shades), sometimes white.
Syringa affinis L. Henry = Syringa giraldii Lemoine = Syringa oblata subsp. oblata (leaves ovate-orbicular to reniform, usually slightly broader than long)
Syringa dilatata Nakai = Syringa oblata subsp. dilatata (leaves ovate to ovate-orbicular, usually slightly narrower than long)

There are hybrids like e.g. Syringa x hyacinthiflora = S. oblata x vulgaris.

lilac aldehyde(s) - eight stereoisomers
[Synthesis, structure elucidation, and olfactometric analysis of lilac aldehyde and lilac alcohol stereoisomers., Kreck, M., Mosandl, A., Journal of agricultural and food chemistry, Vol.51(9), 2003, 2722-2726]
„The volatile compounds released from fresh flowers of S. oblata were separated and identified by GC-MS. Lilac aldehyde A, lilac aldehyde B, lilac aldehyde C, lilac aldehyde D, lilac alcohol A, lilac alcohol B, lilac alcohol C, lilac alcohol D, α-pinene, sabinene, β-pinene, myrcene, d-limonene, eucalyptol, cis-ocimene, benzaldehyde, terpinolene, linalool, benzene acetaldehyde, alpha-terpineol, p-methoxyanisole, p-anisaldehyde, (Z,E)-α-farnesene and (E,E)-α-farnesene were the most abundant volatiles released from fresh flowers of S. oblata var. alba. The relative contents of main volatile fragrance were found to be different in emissions from two varieties of S. oblata flowers (white or purple in color). The four isomers of lilac alcohol and four isomer lilac aldehyde were the characteristic components of the scent of fresh flowers of S. oblata.“
