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.
