Fast Fauna Facts #4 - Pink Jasmine (Jasminum polyanthum)

Family: Olive Family (Oleaceae)

IUCN Conservation Status: Unassessed

Jasmines like the Pink Jasmine both contain, and are the namesake of, a type of hormone found in several plant species known as jasmonic acid. Jasmonic acid serves multiple functions, but in jasmines it is believed to both regulate growth and protect the plant from predators (with studies showing that in some herbivorous insects ingesting jasmonic acid inhibits the function of digestive enzymes in the intestines and saliva) and pathogens (such as parasitic fungi, which it inhibits the growth of.) Native to mountainous regions of northeastern Myanmar and southwestern China, Pink Jasmine grows as a leafy vine with distinctive looking, sweet-smelling flours that have made it popular as an ornamental plant outside of its native range.
