Field Notes

Description:

IDd before as a variety of Gardenia jasminoides (family Rubiaceae), the Common Gardenia.

Updated Dec 1, 2015:
The double or clustered flower cultivar Tabernaemontana divaricata cv. Flore Pleno (family Apocynaceae: subfamily Rauvolfioideae) is about 5 cm across with ruffled edges and has a slight fragrance. The dark green, shiny leaves are about 15cm long and 3-4cm wide and form a lovely contrast with the pure white clustered flowers. This is also a host plant of the Daphnis nerii larvae (Oleander Hawk Moth) as seen in http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/1743006009.

Habitat:

Backyard garden.
