Jasminum tortuosum
Jasminum tortuosum is a twining or scrambling jasmine from the Cape region of South Africa, climbing high into forest trees in the wild. In cultivation it is grown as a climber or sprawling shrub and needs warmth, good drainage and a support to scramble over.
Jasminum tortuosum is a species of jasmine native to South Africa. It is generally found twining high into the trees of forests in southwestern part of Cape Province, but also may scramble where there is little vertical space. It has angular branches off its main stem, and its flowers usually have five white petals each. The specific epithet (tortuosum) is from Latin, describing something that is winding or very twisted.
