Orange jasmine is also known as mock orange, satin wood, honey bush, China-box, café de la India, mirto, azahar, naranjo jazmín, limonaria, and bun. It is an evergreen shrub or occasionally a small tree, usually 6-9' in height. Older orange jasmine normally have multiple stems from the ground level. The stems are supported by taproots with lateral roots and abundant fine roots. Stem bark is gray, becoming fissured and rough. Orange jasmine branches and twigs are slender and abundant at all heights. The alternate leaves are pinnately compound with three to nine leaflets alternating on the rachis. The 1- to 5-cm, leaflets
are dark-green, stiff, ovate, and smell of citrus when crushed. The shrub produces fragrant, fivepetaled, white flowers borne in small clusters near the branch ends. Later, shiny, red elliptic fruits about 1 cm long develop.
