Please ID this small tree with white flowers. Photo was taken in Sri Lanka in Nov 2011. cant really make out the details of the flowers Appears to be some Jasminum species.
I could not find a match as per comparative images at Jasminum The reproductive whorl is androgynophore. They form single unit, if so it may not be Jasminum. I think more characters are required to come to a conclusion. To it looks like some species of Tabernemontana; may be Tabernemontana gambleii
Appears to be Gardenia sp.
Pl check for Gardenia taitensis.
To me also seems to be Gardenia Species.
Thanks to all of you for your feedback.
Does not seem to match with Gardenia taitensis and Tabernaemontana gamblei as per the following:
Gardenia tubifera var. ?
I do not think matches with images at
