Botanical name: Tabernaemontana sp.
Common name: Tabernaemontana
Family: Apocynaceae
Origin: Tropical Africa and Asia










Tabernaemontana is a genus of evergreen shrubs or small trees native to tropical regions of Africa, Asia, Central, and South America. These plants feature large, glossy, dark green leaves arranged oppositely, with smooth margins and prominent veins. When damaged, they exude a characteristic milky sap. The flowers are funnel-shaped or star-like, often with twisted petals that resemble a pinwheel. They are typically white or creamy and sometimes emit a sweet, jasmine-like fragrance. Blooming is often profuse throughout the warm seasons. Tabernaemontana makes an attractive landscape plant, suitable for hedges or as a standalone specimen. It can also be grown in containers and overwintered indoors in cooler climates.
