Jasminum grandiflorum, also known variously as the Spanish jasmine, Royal jasmine, Catalan jasmine,[2] Sicilian jasmine,[citation needed] is a species of jasmine native to South Asia, the Arabian peninsula, East and Northeast Africa and the Yunnan and Sichuan regions of China. The species is widely cultivated and is reportedly naturalized in Guinea, the Maldive Islands, Mauritius, Réunion, Java, the Cook Islands, Chiapas, Central America, and the Caribbean.[1] It is closely related to, and sometimes treated as merely a form of, Jasminum officinale.[3]
