This flower is also called Mogra, Arabian Jasmine, Kundumalligai, Mallika are some of the other names used for the Jasmine. In my mother tongue i.e. in Oriya we call it Malli.
Mogra is an evergreen shrub. It grows to the height of 8- 10 feet. The flower is about one inch. It has oval green rich leaves, which have five to nine leaflets. Jasmine flowers are white in colour. Its stems are slender, trailing. The flower blooms in night and it has a very unique and sweet fragrance.
