MOCK ORANGE
Mock oranges are shrubs of the genus Philadelphus in the saxifrage family, Saxifragaceae. Most of the 65 species are erect shrubs with curving or drooping branches and white flowers, which resemble orange blossoms. One of the popular cultivated forms is P. coronarius, native to Europe and southwestern Asia. It grows to 3 m (10 ft) high and bears small clusters of fragrant flowers. It is grown in many varieties, including dwarfed and double-flowered types. The osage orange, Maclura pomifera, is sometimes also called a mock orange.
