While looking for keys for the varieties, I was surprised with the following w.r.t. the calyx size: *Key* to three varieties of *J. angustifolium* as per The taxonomic identity of Jasminum matthewii (Oleaceae) <http://www.iaat.org.in/images/Rheedea_downloads/Rheedea_26_1/Rheedea_26_1_54-56.pdf> (2016) 1. Leaves recurved at margins; secondary veins distinct on both surfaces; domatia present at axils of veins beneath. *Jasminum angustifolium* var. *hirsutum* 1. Leaves not recurved at margins; secondary veins indistinct on both surfaces; domatia absent at axils of veins beneath. . 2 2. Venation distinct only on upper surface; inflorescence a cyme, (1–)3-flowered, sessile; *calyx lobes 3–4 times longer than tube*; fruiting calyx much longer than fruits. *Jasminum angustifolium* var. *sessiliflorum* 2. Venation obscure on both surfaces; inflorescence a cyme or corymb, (1–)4–7-flowered, pedunculate; *calyx lobes almost equal to tube*; fruiting calyx shorter than fruits. *Jasminum angustifolium* var. *angustifolium*
This is in total contradiction to what I found in our observations as well as in An Excursion Flora of Central Tamilnadu, India <https://books.google.co.in/books?id=umMFT6tKtrkC&pg=PA286&dq=Jasminum+sessiliflorum&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwi1m-iI-cXmAhWE63MBHV9lBaQQ6AEINjAC#v=onepage&q=Jasminum%20sessiliflorum&f=false> By K. M. Matthew (1993): Calyx lobes > three- fourth the length of the corolla tube for *Jasminum angustifolium* var. *angustifolium* Calyx lobes < half as long as the corolla tube for *Jasminum angustifolium* var. *sessiliflorum* On Thu, 5 Dec 2019 at 21:36, J.M.
