This is growing up through a Jasminum beesianum in a friend's garden. It looks familiar but I can't think what it is.

    Do you think it could be Plumbago?
  • LG_LG_ Posts: 4,360
    I honestly don't know - what kind of plumbago do you mean? I have Ceratostigma which is also known as Chinese plumbago, but it's definitely not that. This is quite sappy and soft.

    Depending on the size of leaves, it looks like a Choisya Ternata.

    I can see what you mean, but there isn't another one in the garden or nearby. The leaves are also flimsier than Choisya (though I guess a newly self-seeded one could be flimsy?)

    So sorry but Choisya ternate has one stalk with 3 leaflets. 
    It is definitely not that.

    Follow it back to the base. I think its a chewed jasmine.

    Are you saying it's part of the J. beesianum? I did trace it back to the base - it emerges from within it, but the leaves are a completely different shape, size and colour and the stems are different too. Also the J. beesianum leaves are opposite and I think these are alternate.

    It looks like a passiflora to me. Passion flower. Possibly planted to grow in with the jasmine?

    The common one in UK is Passiflora caerulea.....sorry the leaves on that are very different... one stalk 5 lobes.


    Interesting..I have been thinking..green stem unusual...but getting no where. Sorry.
