Jasminum hockii

Small shrub with woody rhizomatous rootstock and slender flexuous sterns trailing or climbing up to 1·5 m. Young shoots yellowish crispate–pilose, bark of older twigs silvery grey. Petioles 1·3 mm. long, articulated above the middle, the joint often inconspicuous. Leaves dull green, often thin–textured, pilose on both surfaces, the hairs longest and most dense on midrib of lower surface, or rarely leaves glabrous except for acarodomatia. Leaf lamina 0·9–5 (7) x 0·6–3 (3·5) cm., elliptic, obovate–elliptic, ovate or lanceolate, the apex acuminate, acute, rounded or very rarely emarginate, with minute thickened point, the base obtuse or acute. Venation visible on both surfaces, veins level, raised or impressed above, raised below; lateral nerves several, the basal ones joining with others before reaching leaf apex; tertiary venation sometimes visible. Acarodomatia present in axils of lateral nerves up to or slightly above the middle of the leaf, rarely occurring also on lateral nerves. Inflorescences terminal on short shoots, with flowers solitary or in 2–3(7)–flowered cymes, almost never present in axils of subterminal leaves; pedicels 2–20 mm. long. Calyx glabrous to pilose; tube 1–2·5 mm. long; lobes 4–7, 0·6–5 (9) mm. long, triangular, subulate. Corolla creamy white; tube 13–26 mm. long; lobes 6–9, 8–18 mm. long, linear or narrowly elliptic, apex acute to acuminate. Stamens inserted in top half of corolla tube; filaments 1–2·5 mm. long; anthers 2–4 mm. long. Style either exserted from tube or c. i as long, with bifid stigma. Fruit with subglobose lobes 5–8 mm. long, black when ripe.
