Dear Sheji ji..
are all these photos from the same plant...i doubt the first photo to
be J.auriculatum...but am sure it is not J.grandiflorum...as they
possess compound leaves..Lets wait for others to comment

hari ,
what you said is correct, first one is different.., but that leaf is
simple, not compound.

Dear Hari ji & Seji Ji,

I think both are same plant only differences are its size and also angle of photography. In the first photo we see a top view and other photos shows side view. I am adding the description of the plant from eflora of Pakistan.

 

Jasminum grandiflorum Linn., Sp. Pl. Ed. 2. 9. 1762. C.B. Clarke in Hook. f., l.c 603; Parker, l.c. 316.

Synonym : Jasminum officinale forma grandiflorum (Linn.) Kobuski in Journ. Arn. Arb. 13: 161. 1932.

 

Description : Shrub large, sometimes scandent; branches striate, glabrous, green. Leaves opposite, 5-12 cm long, petiolate, petiole and midrib margined; leaflets (5-) 7-11, glabrous, dark green, the upper pair with a broad flat base, often confluent with the terminal leaflet; the terminal hardly larger, ovate lanceolate, acuminate. Flowers fragrant, in lax axillary or terminal cymes, the stalks of later flowers exceeding the first or central ones; pedicels up to 3 cm long. Bracts linear, 5 mm long. Calyx teeth 5, linear, 7-12 mm long. Corolla white, sometimes tinged with red outside, tube c. 2 cm long, lobes 5, oblong, shorter than the tube, involute at the margins.

Tanay

Dear Sheji ji,

sorry you have misunderstood.. i meant that the leaves of J.grandiflorum are compound leaves...and in all the 3 photos they do possess Simple leaves..(Tanay ji's explanation too supports it where it is stated that J.grandiflorum has 7 to 11 leaflets.thanks for clarifying that the first photo is from a different source...

Thank you Tanay ji for giving the Botanical description but would you like to go with these photographs to be of J.grandiflorum???Pls clarify

Cheers

Hari

[tanay bose]

Dear Hari Ji,

the last two photos are of J.grandiflorum indeed but the as the first plant photo is from different source and shows no closeup of the plant (even flowers characters cant be seen) I can't make any comments if I do it will be vague.

Sheji ji and other respected experts of taxonomy I'm confused now that
whether the first photo or the other 2 is holding the name jasminum
grandifolium(Pichaka in malayalam).Becoz first seems to be having a
great structural difference from rest 2.
And I would like to put forward my doubt that in malayalam 'Mulla' is
jasmine and the 'pichaka' is also a mulla type.So my intention to ask
is that isn't that possible for the first photo to be J.grandiflorum
due to its similar structure as that of ordinary jasmine?And I do
agree that there are tree type of jasmine called 'Maramulla' in
malayalam where 'Maram' means tree.Anybody please clear my doubt.

Dear Unni ji
these two photos are of 'pichakam', from two different plants. [first
from an unfavourable sourrounding, so that plant is small, second from
garden] . that second one might be ' kattu pichakam' wild variety ? ,
and the first usual 'pichakam'

expecting expert openion on this

Dear friends, 

I would like to share a few photos of J.grandiflorum...

it possesses compound leaves...and i still doubt the identity of the previously posted photos..

Some one pls do clarify it..

[sheji]

Thank you for posting , but i am sure i have not seen this drug
before. If J.grandiflorum is 'pichakam' , this look different.this
suits descriptions given by Tany ji.
please clarify.

The two photographs uploaded by Hari ji clearly belong to J. grandiflorum, but not the first three photographs uploaded by Sheji. They are clearly with simple leaves and could be wild var. of Jasminum sambac (with shorter calyx) or related species but definitely not J. grandiflorum of J. officinale.
