Surajit ji, 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 <https://www.flickr.com/search/?q=Jasminum+coarctatum&d=taken-20140221-20140223&ct=0&mt=all&w=91314344%40N00&adv=1> and express your views with confidence. Will then gladly correct my notes at flickr. Regards.
