Osmanthus Heterophyllus F. Subangustatus

Chinese sweet osmanthus, scientifically known as Osmanthus heterophyllus f. subangustatus, is a fragrant evergreen shrub native to southern China. It is prized for its small, golden-yellow flowers that emit a sweet, honey-like aroma, especially during the autumn season. The plant is commonly cultivated for ornamental purposes and is also used in traditional Chinese medicine and culinary applications. Its unique scent and ornamental value make it a popular choice in gardens and as a decorative plant. Despite its beauty, it remains relatively obscure compared to other osmanthus species in the broader horticultural community.
