Chionanthus albidiflorus (syn. Linociera albidiflora (Thwaites) C.B.Clarke) is a species of flowering plant in the family Oleaceae. It is endemic to Sri Lanka.[1]

It is sometimes treated in the segregate genus Linociera, though this does not differ from Chionanthus in any character other than leaf persistence, not a taxonomically significant character.[2]

Culture

Known as "ඇබුල් හොර කහ - ambul hora kaha" in Sinhala.
