| 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... |

| 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. |
