== Description ==
{{More citations needed section|date=March 2023}} 
Jasmine can be either [[deciduous]] or [[evergreen]], and can be erect, spreading, or climbing [[shrub]]s and [[vine]]s. The leaves are borne in opposing or alternating arrangement and can be of simple, trifoliate, or pinnate formation.

The flowers are typically around {{convert|2.5|cm|in|abbr=on}} in diameter. They are white or yellow, although in rare instances they can be slightly reddish. The flowers are borne in [[Inflorescence|cymose]] clusters with a minimum of three flowers, though they can also be solitary on the ends of branchlets. Each flower has about four to nine [[petal]]s, two [[locule]]s, and one to four [[ovule]]s. They have two [[stamen]]s with very short filaments. The [[bract]]s are linear or ovate. The [[calyx (botany)|calyx]] is bell-shaped. They are usually very fragrant.<ref name="singh2006"/><ref>[https://botanical.com/botanical/mgmh/j/jasmin06.html A Modern Herbal]</ref>

The basic [[chromosome]] number of the genus is 13, and most species are [[diploid]] (2n=26). However, natural [[polyploidy]] exists, particularly in ''[[Jasminum sambac]]'' (triploid 3n=39), ''[[Jasminum flexile]]'' (tetraploid 4n=52), ''[[Jasminum mesnyi]]'' (triploid 3n=39), and ''[[Jasminum angustifolium]]'' (tetraploid 4n=52).<ref name="singh2006"/>{{Additional citation needed|date=March 2023}}

==Distribution and habitat==
Jasmines are native to [[tropical]] and [[subtropical]] regions of [[Eurasia]], [[Africa]], [[Australasia]] within [[Oceania]], although only one of the 200 species is native to Europe.<ref name="CTEG">Townsend, C.

Several jasmine species have become [[Naturalisation (biology)|naturalized]] in [[Mediterranean Europe]]. For example, the so-called Spanish jasmine (''[[Jasminum grandiflorum]]'') was originally from [[West Asia]], the [[Indian subcontinent]], [[Northeast Africa]], and [[East Africa]], and is now naturalized in the [[Iberian Peninsula]].<ref name="singh2006"/><ref>{{GRIN |id=407300}}</ref>
