Fragrans
/FRAY-granz/🏷️ Taxonomy● Basic
An epithet indicating the plant has a notably pleasant fragrance, typically from flowers but sometimes from foliage, bark, or wood. Distinct from odoratus (which describes scented plants generally) and suaveolens (sweetly scented), fragrans is the most widely used scent epithet and implies a reliable, agreeable perfume.
Etymology
From Latin fragrans, present participle of fragrare, meaning "to smell sweet" or "to be fragrant."
Example
“Osmanthus fragrans (sweet osmanthus) produces one of the most powerfully fragrant flowers in horticulture, and Mahonia japonica, formerly M. fragrans, fills winter gardens with lily-of-the-valley scent.”
