Telosma cordata (Tonkin jasmine, pakalana vine, Tonkinese creeper, Chinese violet, (Vietnamese Thiên lý), (Thai: ดอกสลิด Dok salit) is a species of flowering plant native to China.[1] It is cultivated elsewhere and may occur wild as an introduced species. 
The plant bears clusters of golden yellow blooms along the vining stems during summer months. Individual blooms emerge successively over a period of weeks emitting a rich, heavy fragrance during the day and night.

When & where ?


It is Telosma cordata (N. L. Burman) Merrill, of Apocyanaceae

A cultivated vine. It is known as fragrant telosma

Thanks, …
It appears close to images at Telosma pallida as per keys herein.  

Corolla lobes longer than tube, light yellow/cream/ in Telosma pallida, but in the specimen the 2 characters are different; because of poor quality of the image it looks confusing. It is Telosma cordata only 


Thanks, … Would you pl. check our images at
