Date: 11/04/2026 | Source: Naenara (En) | Read original version at source

Forsythia densiflora , a deciduous shrub belonging to the family Oleaceae , grows on the northern slope of Mt Jangsu in South Hwanghae Province.

The petals face each other, and have petioles.

Leaf lamina is oval, pointed at the tip and jagged at the edge.

In early April, golden bell-shaped flowers bloom at the axillae before leaves begin to bud.

The plant bears oval-shaped seedball, which ripens around October and separates into two pieces.

As the flowers bloom early and are beautiful, the shrub is planted in parks, gardens and recreation grounds.

It is under protection as a living monument as it is of significance in the study of its distribution and characteristics.
