Jasminum sambac (Arabian jasmine or Sambac jasmine)^[1]^[3] is a species of jasmine native to tropical Asia, from the Indian subcontinent to Southeast Asia.^[4]^[5] It is cultivated in many places, especially West Asia, South Asia and Southeast Asia. It is naturalised in many scattered locales: Mauritius, Madagascar, the Maldives, Christmas Island, Chiapas, Central America, southern Florida, the Bahamas, Cuba, Hispaniola, Jamaica, Puerto Rico, and the Lesser Antilles.^[6]^[7]^[8]

Jasminum sambac is a small shrub or vine growing up to 0.5 to 3 m (1.6 to 9.8 ft) in height. It is widely cultivated for its attractive and sweetly fragrant flowers.

It is the national flower of the Philippines, where it is known as sampaguita,^[9] as well as being one of the three national flowers of Indonesia, where it is known as melati putih.
