Gardenia jasminoides
''Gardenia jasminoides'', (gardenia,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=USDA GRIN Taxonomy )〕 cape jasmine, cape jessamine,〔 danh-danh,〔 or jasmin〔) is an evergreen flowering plant of the family Rubiaceae. It originated in Asia and is most commonly found growing wild in Vietnam, Southern China, Taiwan, Japan, Myanmar, and India. With its shiny green leaves and heavily fragrant white summer flowers, it is widely used in gardens in warm temperate and subtropical climates, and as a houseplant in temperate regions. It has been in cultivation in China for at least a thousand years, and was introduced to English gardens in the mid 18th century. Many varieties have been bred for horticulture, with low growing, and large-and long-flowering forms.
==Taxonomy and naming==
''Gardenia jasminoides'' was described by English botanist John Ellis in 1761, after it had been conveyed to England in the 1750s. It gained its association with the name jasmine as the botanist and artist Georg Dionysius Ehret had depicted it and queried whether it was a jasmine as the flowers resembled the latter plant. The name stuck and lived on as common name and scientific epithet.〔 The name ''G. augusta'' of Linnaeus has been ruled invalid.
The common names ''cape jasmine'' and ''cape jessamine'' derive from the earlier belief that the flower originated in Cape of Good Hope, South Africa.〔
