Field Notes
Description:
A twining, evergreen vine, 10-20 ft. long, that will climb trees, scramble over fences and structures, or develop a mound of tangled stems if left to its own devices. Lustrous, dark-green foliage develops a slight yellow or purple cast in winter. Axillary clusters of very fragrant, yellow, trumpet-shaped flowers. The fruit is a 1 1/2 in. long capsule.
Habitat:
Native from Virginia and Florida west to Arkansas and east Texas and south to Guatemala.
Notes:
potted growing along road to Cooper's Furnace Day Use Area at Allatoona Dam Cartersville, GA
(Based on the wet location, I thought I had found Swamp Jasmine, but this specimen was quite fragrant and Swamp Jasmine should be odorless.)
