description Jasminum nudiflorum Overview
Jasminum nudiflorum, the winter jasmine, is a deciduous shrub in the olive family (Oleaceae) native to northern China. It is notable for producing solitary bright yellow flowers on bare green stems during winter and early spring, well before its leaves appear. Introduced to Europe by the Scottish plant hunter Robert Fortune in 1844, it grows to roughly 1–2 meters with slender, arching stems that root where they contact soil. Unlike true jasmine (Jasminum officinale), its flowers are unscented.
