Does anyone know what this plant is called? its apparently a type of jasmine, but need help!!thanks?

Hi. I am trying to find out the specific name of this plant. It is a climber (i am told a jasmine?). It has brightish shiny green (light green) leaves which are quite quite broad, rounded leaves not thin ones. When the newer leaves mature and become older leaves they become very strong and fiborous (almost lots of cellulose in each leaf), making it almsot like a fiborous piece of paper or card you are wripping throuhgh.


When cut it ozzzes very white sticky sap. It has small delicate white flowers in little bundles and they are fragranced.


i believe it also keeps its leaves all year.


any help/possible names this could be would be great. plant is in uk garden in norfolk. thanks

Reply:Just take a cutting round to "Norfolk Lavender" they know quite a bit about things like that.
Reply:White sap means and fragrant flowers sounds very much like Hoya to me. Link shows Hoya nummularoides, which has rounded leaves. However, many species of Hoya have rounded leaves. Do an image search on Hoya and see if you can match your plant.
Reply:Sounds like you have "night jasmine".It is very fragrant with pretty white flowers.
Reply:There are some 200 species of jasmine. Subsequently, all the answers you receive are merely guesses. A picture is worth a thousand words!
