Jasminum sambac, soland. Arabian jasmine. Climbing, the angular branchlets pubescent: lvs. opposite or in 3 s (the ternate-lvd. specimens giving rise to the name J. trifolidtum, Hort.), firm in texture, shining, nearly or quite glabrous, the petiole short and abruptly curved upward, elliptic-ovate or broad-ovate, either prominently acute or completely rounded on the end, entire, prominently veined: clusters 3-12-fld.; calyx-lobes linear and prominent, hirsute on the edges (sometimes almost glabrous); corolla-tube 1/2iin. long; lobes oblong or orbicular. India. B.R.I.柚uch cult, in the tropics. Fls. white, but turning purple as they die. A full double button-fld. group is in cult., one form of which is the Grand Duke of Tuscany (or Grand Duke). The double form is shown in B.M. 1785. This double form sometimes passes as J. trifoliatum. J. Sambac is a perpetual bloomer, particularly in frostless countries, where it can stand in the open.
