Jasmine, False Jasmine, Gardenia

 Jasminum or Jasmine is a genus of semi tropical flowering shrubs and vines that are a part of the olive family (Oleaceae).  There are more than 200 species found in the temperate climates of Asia, Africa, Europe and India.  Different jasmine cultivars exhibit differing growth habits, but nearly all have a compelling and memorable fragrance.

We have also included a number of flowers within this group that are commonly called jasmines due to the similar fragrance.
