Jasmine
Jasminum species and cultivars
Family: Oleaceae
True jasmines belong to the genus Jasminum. However, the common name "jasmine" has also been applied to a variety of other plants outside the genus, usually because their white fragrant flowers and perhaps a similar growth habit. An example popular in Qld is the "Star Jasmine", Trachelospermum
Other plants have been assigned jasminoides in their scientific name, meaning "like jasmine" e.g. Pandorea jasminoides.
Note that some jasmine (notably Jasminum polyanthum) may exhibit weedy tendencies in some parts of the country.
Jasmines were discussed more detail in a three-part article (23-02-24 to 08-03-24 editions) in Get Results Gardening, a weekly email publication for Australian gardeners, especially those in the tropical, subtropical and warm temperate parts of the country.
