Dear All, The plant in question is Jasminum rottlerianum Wall. ex A.DC. Not J. pubescens Willd.
Jasminum pubescens is currently known as J. multiflorum (Burm,.f.) Andrews, is a cultivated species in home gardens. Whereas J. rottlerianum is a wild species with two varieties viz. Var. rottlerianum and var. glabrior C.B. Clarke. The latter variety is seen only in Kerala. Kindly see the following article for further reading: Seema G Gopal & K N Nair 2002. Taxonomic notes on two species of Jasminum Linn (Oleaceae) from south India. J. Econ. Taxon. Bot. 26: 128-132.
