Distribution and habitat

The bluegrape jasmine is a relatively rare species of jasmine mostly found in parts of northeast India (especially Assam and Meghalaya), but also discovered in Laos, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam.[4][6][7][5]

Description

The bluegrape jasmine is a fast-growing climbing vine, but can also grow as ground cover.[4][5] It is a tropical plant. It has dark green, glossy leaves of length 5–7 cm (1.9–2.8 in), and bears grape-sized blue-black berries which attract birds.[4][5] The species produces large white flowers, typically having narrow, curled petals. They are very fragrant and attractive to bees and butterflies.[4][8][5]
