    Jasmine can be either deciduous (leaves falling in autumn) or evergreen (green all year round), and can be

    erect, spreading, or climbing shrubs and vines. Their leaves are borne in opposing or alternating arrangement
    and can be of simple, trifoliate, or pinnate formation. The flowers are typically around 2.5 cm (0.98 in) in
    diameter. They are white or yellow in color, although in rare instances they can be slightly reddish. The flowers
    are borne in cymose clusters with a minimum of three flowers, though they can also be solitary on the ends of
    branchlets. Each flower has about four to nine petals, two locules, and one to four ovules. They have
    two stamens with very short filaments. The bracts are linear or ovate. The calyx is bell-shaped. They are
    usually very fragrant. The fruits of jasmines are berries that turn black when ripe. The
    basic chromosome number of the genus is 13, and most species are diploid (2n=26). However,
    natural polyploidy exists, particularly in Jasminum sambac (2n=39), Jasminum flexile (2n=52), Jasminum
    mesnyi (2n=39), and Jasminum angustifolium (2n=52).[6]

    Distribution and habitat[edit]


    Jasmines are native to tropical and subtropical regions of Eurasia, Australasia and Oceania, although only one
    of the 200 species is native to Europe.[7][8] Their center of diversity is in South Asia and Southeast Asia.[9]
    A number of jasmine species have become naturalized in Mediterranean Europe. For example, the so-called
    Spanish jasmine (Jasminum grandiflorum) was originally from West Asia and Indian subcontinent, and is now
    naturalized in the Iberian peninsula.[6]
    Jasminum fluminense (which is sometimes known by the inaccurate name "Brazilian Jasmine") and Jasminum
    dichotomum (Gold Coast Jasmine) are invasive species in Hawaii and Florida.[10][11] Jasminum polyanthum, also
    known as White Jasmine, is an invasive weed in Australia.[12]

    Taxonomy[edit]
    Species belonging to genus Jasminum are classified under the tribe Jasmineae of the olive family
    (Oleaceae).[6] Jasminum is divided into five sections—Alternifolia, Jasminum, Primulina, Trifoliolata,
    and Unifoliolata.[4]
    The genus name is derived from the Persian Yasame
