Chionanthus albidiflorus is a tree in the olive family (Oleaceae) endemic to Sri Lanka, rarely grown outside its native wet tropical range. Little is documented about cultivation, so treat care advice as general guidance for related fringe trees.
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.
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.
