Trachelospermum (pronounced /trəˌkiːlɵˈspɜrməm/)[1] is a genus of about 15 species of evergreen woody vines in the family Apocynaceae, native to southern and eastern Asia (14 species) and southeastern North America (one species, T. difforme).
They have long stems climbing to 12 m or more high in trees. The leaves are opposite, simple broad lanceolate to ovate, 2-8 cm long and 0.5-4 cm broad. The flowers are salverform (like those of Phlox), simple, 2.5-7 cm broad, with five white, pale yellow or purple petals joined together at the base to form a tube.
