| History | This genus is classified into the dogbane family, Apocynaceae. Philip von Siebold may have been the first westerner to see this plant in Japan while stationed there for the Dutch East India Company from 1826 to 1830. However, this species is also native to Korea. |
| Lore | Despite its common name, this is not a true jasmine but does bear potently similar fragrance. |
