I don't think Acubaefolia is a genus name. I bet it's something like Syringa acubaefolia 'Dappled Dawn'.

No. Syringa vulgaris 'Aucubaefolia' (double flowers) and Syringa vulgaris 'Dappled Dawn' (single flowers) are apparently two different but often confused cultivars.

Hey, I just found a google link that backs up and elaborates on above...

Here is a link that might be useful: Lilacs: A Gardener's Encyclopedia By John L. Fiala, Freek Vrugtman

Brandon is correct - these are often listed as synonymous cultivar names but there is a distinction in flowering pattern as noted. But both are selections of Syringa vulgaris.
