While the white flowered Chinese Starjasmine (T. 
jasminoides) is well known and a great favorite, 
this is far from common. The flowers of similar size 
and form are primrose-yellow with orange “eye” 
and have the rich fragrance that characterizes the 
genus. The beauty of the evergreen vine is enhanced 
by the ruddy bronze hue of new growth. Blooms 
moderately when very young and most profusely 
as it gets older. It has the additional advantage of 
being considerably hardier than T. jasminoides. 
japonicum (8) 
The dark evergreen foliage is marked with white 
veining and later becomes bronzy. Flowers are white 
or creamy but not definitely yellow.

We can say little except that it has long narrow 
leaves, as it should. We imported it from Ireland 
“on suspicion” as even the seller gave no descrip- 
tion of the flowers. All other Trachelospermums we 
have are good and this probably is.
