Tabish-- Does J. nitidum set seed locally there? I've never seen any fruits on it in Florida or California, probably one of the reasons it is a recommended species here. I don't know if it is sterile (seems unlikely) or has a specific pollinator not found in the US?
J. dichotomum sets seeds copiously here in Florida, undoubtedly contributing to its weed status. Regards-- Ken. ________________________________ From: Tabish <[email protected]> To: efloraofindia <[email protected]> Sent: Sat, April 17, 2010 6:27:53 PM Subject: [efloraofindia:32513] Re: please ID this wild jasmine Dear Ken, The buds of J. nitidum are long and slender, different from what is seen in Dimple's pictures. What surprises me is that J. dichotomum is not common as a garden plant here, but still seems to have escaped cultivation in Kanha. - Tabish On Apr 18, 6:17 am, Kenneth Greby <[email protected]> wrote: > Tabish-- > > You may well be correct. > > J. dichotomum is a weed in South Florida, USA.
