|discussion=<p><i>Philadelphus coronarius</i> is likely to occur in states and provinces other than those listed because it is widely cultivated and may escape.</p><!--
--><p><i>Philadelphus</i> caucasicus is here provisionally considered to be a synonym of <i>P. coronarius</i>, though further study in their native area is needed. Both are native in the Caucasus region, according to Hu S. Y. (1954–1956), and the only character by which she separated them (vestiture on the disc and style) is variable in other taxa in the genus and seems of doubtful taxonomic meaning in the case of these two sympatric, putative taxa. The native distribution of <i>P. coronarius</i> is unclear. Hu considered it native in southern Europe and the Caucasus Mountains of southern Russia, Armenia, Georgia, and Azerbaijan. D. A. Webb (1993) emphasized the uncertainty of its native range, mentioning that stations in Europe where it is undoubtedly native are very few; it may be that this species is native only in the Caucasus and was brought early to Europe for ornament.</p>
