The name jasmine or jessamine is given to many different species belonging to several different families, so, as with the name honeysuckle, it would be well to learn the proper names for each group and properly apply them and not use either 'jasmine' or ' honeysuckle' without some modification to show the exact genus. Fig. 399. —Cape'Jasmine.' intended. (The name jessamine should be restricted to the genus Jas- minum (p. 273) and honeysuckle to Lonicera (p. 230). This application of names would stop most of the confusion. Of course Cape 'Jasmine' will always mean Gardenia.) The Gardenias have opposite simple entire evergreen leaves and sweet-scented tubular white flowers with spreading.
