  Looks like star jasmine : Jasminum multiflorum.  kakada hoovu in kannada(?)

[Madhuri Raut]

Yes I too go with Jasminum multiflorum is a species of jasmine, in the family Oleaceae. A native of India, Kundo (in Bengali) is known as in English.as Downy Jasmine, and Star Jasmine. Winter Jasmine, Indian Jasmine,  It flowers in Indian winter. It is also called Magha Mallika(Sanskrit) since it flowers in Magha winter month in the Indian Hindu Calendar. It flowers so much that sometimes the flowers cover most of the leaves leaving everything white Synonyms The stems and leaves are covered with a downy pubescence (and hence the name) that gives the plant an overall grayish-green appearance. Jasminum pubescens/ Jasminum gracillimum / Jasminum bifarium 

 BUT

jasminum nitidum is also called star jasmine other names Shining Jasmine, Angelwing Jasmine, Confederate Jasmine, Windmill Jasmine Raj Chameli, Chandani,Royal Jasmine

I think Star Jasmine is more apt for J nitidum as it really looks like a star

Attaching my pics of J Nitidum

It is J. multiflorum also known as J. pubescens. It is a shrub.Jasmine is both shrub and creeper. Chameli is creeper, and motia is shrub, although I have seen motia changing into a creeper. 

Looking to the pink colour of the peduncle and the bud in Madhuriji's photographs, this looks like J. mabaricum रान मोगरा

Ok... I am thoroughly confused...

1:    what Ararti ji showed looks different from what Bhagyashri/Madhuri  showed...
2:    too many names have been mentioned ....

3: Mr. Bhatt: in first paragraph says , I quote : "It is J. multiflorum also known as J. pubescens." end quote 
AND in the second paragraph says : I quote : "  this looks like J. mabaricum रान मोगरा    "

some one please clarify:  sorry,
I  am most stupid when it comes to such confusing thread....


I Would appreciate if someone would tell me what is in Arati ji's picture....
and what is in Bhagyashri/Madhuri ji's pictures,  clearly ..preferably in that order....



Thank you...

Aartiji's Nasik photographs are kund (J. multiflorum). 

Madhuriji's photographs were in some other link which got mixed up here. 

I had attempted a write-up on Jasmines sometime back  The link is:

@Ushadi attaching a pic showing the three different flowers in discussion and what I feel about them. @Anandji I hope I am correct. In the pics posted by me the buds do have a deep pink stalk but once they bloom the stalk is green with a pinkish tinge, secondly the flower has more petals which are thinner than J Malabaricum .

Really wonderful write up by you on Jasmines. For so many days I wanted to know what is Jui(in Marathi) called in English, what is wild Jasmine called in Marathi. But I am confused about differentiating motia from mogra till now I would call all of them Mogra.Thanks once again

Nice writeup on your blog Anand Ji and good presentation by Bhagyashri Ji.
