Thanks

More Contributions, there are 4 groups, and here is a big list that I've compiled of various cultivars and which group they fall into. Basically Semperflorens (sijigui) are the variety that flower all the time, where as all others flower in the fall. besides color of the flower there are other differences which I am still deciphering. I know this list is daunting, but basically if you're looking to purchase a cultivar and you are not sure what characteristics or qualities it has, this will help for us non chinese speakers!

Juvenile leaves of both varieties are serrated, where as adult leaves of all Osmanthus have little if any serration. So it's probably just an adult form. It does look like Osmanthus Heterophyllus leaves are much smaller than Osmanthus Fragrans, with Osmanthus x Fortunei being in between (because it's a cross of the two). The more I look at that plant the more I am sure it's an Osmanthus Heterophyllus. It's possible it was an O. Fragrans grafted on an O. Heterophyllus root stock and the root stock over grew it? Or it could just be mislabled. It would be interesting to know if the plant flowers in the fall or throughout winter, and the color of the flowers. Because Osmanthus Heterophyllus and Fontunei flower only in the fall and Osmanthus Fragrans will flower throughout the winter. I might be wrong, but I think that is the case. Also flower color will give some hint as again I believe (but am not 100% sure) that only Osmanthus Fragrans have yellow, orange and white flowers; all others being white. If it had yellow flowers it would probably be an Osmanthus Fragrans, maybe just a variety that has smaller leaves. I have an Osmanthus Heterophyllus which is miniature and has 1-3cm (1/4" - 1/2" leaves). So it's likely that heterophyllus has smaller leaves in it's gene pool. This page has a lot of various pictures of all the Osmanthus, one of the best on the web: Osmanthus on Oregon State University's Website You can see adult and juvenile leaves in this picture of an Osmanthus Fortunei (O. Fragrans x O. heterophyllus). Here is an adult Osmanthus Fortunei: Here is an Osmanthus Heterophyllus both adult and juvenille leaves: Adult leaves of Osmanthus Heterophyllus: This post was edited by ocelaris on Tue, Aug 26, 14 at 11:34

Illicium 'Woodland Ruby' and I. mexicana came through their second winter with only slight leafburn in a non-sheltered location. Manglietia insignis, Parakmeria, Choisya ternata (green & 'Sundance') had only moderate leafburn. Choisya 'Aztec Pearl' was undamaged. choisyas are ready to bear their fragrant white flowers. Edgeworthia papyrifera flowered profusely. Cyrilla arida and C. 'Small leaf' were burned with some dieback. Green Loropetalum chinense had about 50% burn and the bronze/purple forms were (as usual) 90% burned with minor tip dieback. Even the less hardy Loropetalums flower and increase in size each year. Cornus kousa angustata had it's usual foliage burn at around 10. Green and variegated Ternstroemia is in good condition. Daphne odora in several spots had some burn and partial flowering Ilex buergeri had only partial leafburn-better than when I used to protect it.
