Location- Place, Altitude, Pattambi, Palghat Dt. Kerala Habitat- Garden/ Urban/ Wild/ Type- Wild Plant Habit- Tree/ Shrub/ Climber/ Herb- Shrub Height/Length- 4 ft. Other Information like Fragrance, Pollinator, Uses etc.- fragrant Jasminum malabaricum is the call from me Bracts are pubescent/foliaceous and not subulate hence this is J. multiflorum. i think this is Jasminum malabaricum For J.multiflorum the calyx-lobes are 5 only. For J.malabaricum the leaf apex should be acuminate; corolla lobes twisted towards left. The ratio of leaf and flower (across-width) seems to go with J. malabaricum. Could this be any other species of Jasminum? please validate.
I have collected J. malabaricum from Sanjay Gandhi National Park, Mumbai. i never found the ovate-lanceolate leafy bracts of the inflorecence. also check the pic at http://www.flowersofindia.net/catalog/slides/Malabar%20Jasmine.html Does not looks like J. multiflorum either.
This is nothing but Jasminum rottlerianum (= J. pubescens). There were a lot of confusion regarding the identity of this plant earlier. Doesn't look like J. malabaricum,, pls check J. angustifolia.. this plant is common in Konkan
The plant in question is Jasminum rottlerianum Wall. ex A.DC. Not J. pubescens Willd. Jasminum pubescens is currently known as J. multiflorum (Burm,.f.) Andrews, is a cultivated species in home gardens. Whereas J. rottlerianum is a wild species with two varieties viz. Var. rottlerianum and var. glabrior C.B. Clarke. The latter variety is seen only in Kerala. Kindly see the following article for further reading: Seema G Gopal & K N Nair 2002.

Jasminum- species in India & eFI with details & some keys This jasmine is known as Dela. As per FBI, unlike TPL, Jasminum coarctatum Roxb. and J. rottlerianum Wall. are two deiiferent taxa. This plant can only be J. coarctatum Roxb., "a native of the hills near Chittagong" (Roxb.).

As I opened the file, I felt as if the room has got filled with soothing fragrance of the jasmine flowers.... thanks for sharing the pic. Spectacular graphic set up esp. the second picture It looks different to what I have, identified by ..., twice. I think your flickr uploads of J. multiflorum and J. coarctatum got mixed up. Please correct me if I am wrong. I went through all the posts in the group's database. Those posted from the north India as J. multiflorum are definitely different from what I have posted. The posted plant agrees very well with J. coarctatum. I also found another post from south (... ANFEB29) which was thought to be J. multiflorum - but you have commented as J. coarctatum. Many many thanks ... for validating this ID. Will correct my notes at flickr soon. I think the confusion lies in the description of bracts. Even Flora Indica recorded bracts are few, lanceolate in J. pubescens. Surprisingly FI doesn't give description of bracts of J. coarctatum, only informs. "amply bracted." Sir Prain also recorded that bracts, in J. pubescens, often absent, if present ovate-lanceolate. Only Haines, in his BoBO, described "bracts same shape as leaves". Perhaps Rheede's illustration may also created confusion which was addressed in FBI. You might have already read the FBI and other literature. Yet I attach here the FBI and BoBO entry, for further examination. Attachments (2) Just for information, a descriptive name given in Tamil lexicon [Madras], University of Madras for J. rottlerianum ... synonym of J. coarctatum var coarctatum. is white-bracted jasmine ! Not sure whether the bracts of J. coarctatum are indeed white-coloured; it could also imply the bracts are brighter OR lighter tone than that of other Jasminum species. Yes, ..., I agree, I have read about white bracts in FBI, of coarctatum and rottlerianum. FBI says "prominent white" in both. I couldn't find, in the net, the paper, 'Taxonomic notes on two...', ... mentioned in the thread - https://groups.google.com/d/msg/indiantreepix/w71Qu08WXV8/kK1z788DNQwJ. However, Wight recorded, in his Ic Pl, bracts of J. rottlerianum are with "pale whitish hue". FBI has a var. of rottlerianum, var. thwaitesii from 'Nilgherries' where bracts are "whitish". I can be wrong while trying to guess and express my thoughts about the two species, coarctatum complex, and mutiflorum, my points are -
Thank you ..., thanks very much ... by now, I have lost my familiarity with coarctatum & multiflorum; I will have to slowly build it up in due course by meeting them in future. About the point where you are suggesting one of my plants as multiflorum, requesting you to look at other views of the same plant and express your views with confidence. Will then gladly correct my notes at flickr. I am really sorry that I gave you a wrong direction, regarding the ID of https://www.flickr.com/photos/dinesh_valke/12909870533/sizes/l. There is a problem here and in the series you have linked. I only stressed on bracts, overlooked number of corolla lobes. Again I think none of the above series is J. coarctatum. But, now I am hesitant about multiflorum too, for corolla lobes should be 7-9 (FoC), or 6-9 (FoP, FI). Here they are five. The sepals in your pics are long, linear, pubescent; nerves are 4 pairs. If we go through FBI we are left with only sambac, multiflorum and malabaricum. We can skip three or four more for they are not distributed in South-West I think.m Rest of the FBI species have sepals either short to minute lobes or glabrous. We can skip malabaricum for number of sec. nerves is more in that species. For, sambac, it is a real problem. It can have 5 corolla lobes (FoP). But, in wild form cymes should be few flowered, 3 (FBI), 1-5 (FoC). Roxburgh's J. bracteatum is synonymous with J. pubescens Willd. of FBI, this var. can have 5 (5-8) corolla lobes (FI). So, please note loops of lateral veins, your species should not be sambac, I think, either multiflorum or bracteatum Roxb. Please do check your local flora and give your opinion. You can go ahead with J. multiflorum, even after the shortage of at least one petal. The lower leaves of 2nd pic in the series clearly shows smaller leaf, just as in KEW herb. Thank you very much for bearing with me. Please identify this Jasminum species. It was bearing White flowers. Location: Kannur, Kerala Jasminum pubescens I think better matches with images at Jasminum coarctatum rather than those at Jasminum multiflorum ANFEB29 Jasminum sp. for identification : 10 posts by 4 authors. Attachments (6) Family: Oleaceae Date: 1st February 2015 Place: Agumbe, Karnataka Habit: Climber I found this Jasminum sp. at about .5 km into the trekking trail. The trail begins at a small village so I am not sure if it was an escape or otherwise. Jasminum - species in eFIoraofindia (with details/ keys from published papers/ regional floras/ FRLHT/ FOI/ efloras/ books etc., where ever available) Jasminum pubescens Thanks, ... There are two plants: Jasminum pubescens Buch.-Ham. ex Wall. is a synonym of Jasminum sambac (L.) Aiton Jasminum pubescens (Retz.) Willd. is a synonym of Jasminum multiflorum (Burm.f.) Andrews This is which one of the above? efi page on Jasminum multiflorum & Jasminum sambac To me it seems to be Jasminum auriculatum. This is none of the two species which are synonymous with the epithet 'pubescens'. I do not know if there is a third one I do not have flora of Karfnataka. Maybe ... can tell us more. To me it is a member of Jusminum coarctatum Roxb.-Jasminum rottlerianum Wall. complex. SInce TPL grouped all under J. coarctatum Roxb. and several herbarium can be viewed in KEW, please check probability. I would like to correct myself, there is a third J. pubscens, as per FBI. iii. 593 J. rottlerianum is synonymous with J. pubescens Miq., in herfb. Hohenack, not of Willd.Appears close to images at Jasminum coarctatum Roxb. Location : Tamdil, Mizoram Date : 30-04-2018 Habit : Climber Habitat : Wild Looks like Jasminum multiflorum, commonly called Kunda or Kundo. Hope you are doing well. Jasminum multiflorum looks correct ID To me looks slightly different from other images at Jasminum multiflorum I think closer to images at Jasminum coarctatum Roxb. References: |
