This map is based on our research. We have checked its accuracy to Level 3 ecoregions. Although this plant occurs somewhere in each of these regions, it may only occur in a small part of some or all of them.

This species is planted in gardens over a much wider range than pictured here; it frequently escapes and occasionally has formed sustaining populations in the regions shown here.

Notes

We prefer the common name "Cape Jasmine" over the more widely used "gardenia" because the name "gardenia" references the scientific genus, which can create a misleading or confusing scenario in the circumstance that a species gets reclassified into a different genus.
