Dear Karthick ji The plant is not jasminum malabaricum. The plant shows some similarities with Jasminum ritchiei Clarke in Hook.f.. But length of leaves and nature of calyx makes me some confusions. As per my 7 years phenological data on lianas of Western Ghats, Jasminum ritchiei Clarke in Hook.f. shows peak flowering in June-July (rainy season). You please give more information about the plant for the confirmation of ID regards Sujana ................................................ ** Mrs. Sujana K. A.
