Stems glabrous or rarely ferruginous-pubescent. Leaves: petiole 2.5–5 mm, glabrous or sparsely pubescent; blade narrowly elliptic to broadly obovate, 20–60(–120) × 15–30(–40) mm, coriaceous, base rounded to acute, apex obtuse to broadly or abruptly acuminate, surfaces glabrous throughout or pubescent abaxially. Peduncles 20–50 mm, glabrous or sparsely pubescent. Pedicels 5–7 mm, glabrous or sparsely pubescent. Flowers: calyx lobes ovate to narrowly lanceolate, 2–5 mm, pubescent; corolla glabrous abaxially, eglandular-pubescent adaxially, tube 2.5–3.5 × 1–3 mm, throat 3–4 × 2–2.5 mm, lobes spreading, obliquely oblong-obovate, 7–10 × 4–5 mm; stamens included. Follicles 100–150 × 2.5–5 mm. Seeds 6(–15) × 1–1.5 mm. 2n = 20.
Phenology: Flowering spring; fruiting spring–summer.
Habitat: Disturbed habitats.
Elevation: 0–200 m.
Distribution
Introduced; Ala., Fla., Asia (China, Japan, Korea), cultivated widely and introduced also in Mexico, West Indies, Central America, Europe, Pacific Islands, Australia.
Discussion
R. E. Woodson Jr. (1936b) surmised Trachelospermum jasminoides to be native to southeastern China and to have spread elsewhere in Asia through cultivation and escape. Although T. jasminoides is widely cultivated in warmer parts of the United States, only two collections have been seen that appear to represent naturalized specimens, both from disturbed woodland habitats.
Selected References
None.
