Information
Shrub, up to 2 m tall, usually scandent or climbing; young stems densely pubescent. Leaves, at least most of them, alternate, simple; petiole 0.5–3 mm long, articulated in upper part, densely pubescent at least above; blade elliptic-lanceolate to suborbicular, 0.5–2.5(–4) x 0.5–1.5(–2.3) cm, cuneate to rounded at the base, obtuse to shortly acuminate at the apex, densely or sometimes sparsely pubescent, sometimes with acarodomatia in axils of lateral nerves. Flowers terminal on short lateral branches, solitary or few together; pedicels 1.5–10 mm long. Calyx sparsely pubescent, mainly on lobes; tube 2–3 mm long; lobes 5, 2–6 mm long, subulate. Corolla white; tube 10–26 mm long; lobes 7–10, 7–18 mm long, linear to ovate-lanceolate, obtuse and apiculate to acute or acuminate at the apex. Stamens inserted near middle of corolla-tube; anthers c. 4–5 mm long. Fruit with lobes c. 6–8 mm long when dry, subglobose.

Notes
Jasmin (Som.).Kupicha in Fl. Zamb. 7(1): 316 (1983) included J. punctulatum, with a question-mark, in the widespread and variable J. streptopus E. Mey, but this has normally opposite leaves with acarodomatia and the stamens are inserted in the upper half of the corolla-tube. However, the relationship between J. punctulatum and J. streptopus is in need of further study.
