Orange Jasmine, Orange Jessamine, China Box, Mock Orange, Murraya exotica
Murraya paniculata (Orange Jessamine) is a tropical to sub-tropical evergreen shrub or tree with graceful pendulous branches clothed in glossy dark green leaves divided into 3-8 oval leaflets. Flowering several times throughout the year, exceptionally fragrant, white bell-shaped flowers, 7/8 in. across (2.2 cm), are borne in terminal or axillary clusters. They emit a wonderful orange blossom fragrance and are followed by ovoid, bright red fruits on mature plants. Orange Jessamine is hardy to 45ºF (7ºC), and will recover its beauty after an occasional light frost.
