'''''Nyctanthes''''' is a genus of [[flowering plant]]s in the family [[Oleaceae]], native to southeastern [[Asia]]. It is currently accepted as containing two species; other species previously included in this genus have been transferred to other genera, most of them to ''[[Jasminum]]''.<ref name=oxford>University of Oxford, Oleaceae information site: [http://herbaria.plants.ox.ac.uk/fraxigen/fraxinus/oleaceae/nyctanthes.html ''Nyctanthes'']</ref> They are [[shrub]]s or small [[tree]]s growing to 10 m tall, with flaky bark. The [[leaf|leaves]] are opposite, simple. The [[flower]]s are produced in small clusters of two to seven together. The [[fruit]] is a two-parted [[capsule (fruit)|capsule]], with a single seed in each part.<ref name=oxford/><ref name=fop>Flora of Pakistan: [http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=5&taxon_id=122518 ''Nyctanthes'']</ref><ref name=wafc>AgroForestry Tree Database: [http://www.worldagroforestrycentre.org/sea/Products/AFDbases/af/asp/SpeciesInfo.asp?SpID=18063 ''Nyctanthes'']</ref> {{Inc| Nyctanthes (night flower: blooms toward night and fls. fall at morning).
