The common jasmine generally loses its leaves in 
the winter season, especially in exposed situations; 
but, as its young shoots are of a fine deep green, and 
the plant is generally covered with them, it has the 
appearance at that season of an evergreen. The G 
shoots are frequently produced 7 or 8 feet in length, | 
and upwards, in one season. 1277. J. officinale.
