At that time, the tender branches and leaves were light in color, yellow-green or green, oval, flat, serrated, leathery, light green, with drooping tips and many lateral veins, generally 15 ~ 17 pairs. The flowers are longer, and the flowers are lemon yellow or light yellow. In addition to the severe winter and summer heat, a few fragrant flowers bloom one after another, most of which bloom in autumn. The Yangtze River basin and its south area are also full of flowers in winter, so it is called Four Seasons Osmanthus, but its fragrance is not as good as other seasons. If the temperature drops below 5℃, the fragrance can hardly be smelled.
