Common Name: Lady Of The Night

Cestrum nocturnum has possibly the strongest scented flowers in the world. Yet the flowers are insignificant during the day when the slender greenish-white tubular bells are closed over.

But on  a warm summer evening, their petals open to release the most intoxicating perfume into the night air.

Cestrum nocturnum, perhaps better known as the Night Flowering Jasmine, Night Scented Jasmine, Night Blooming Jasmine, Lady of the Night, Dama de Noche and Galan de Noche

Lady of the night is an evergreen shrub growing up to 3.5 metres tall.
The plant is widely cultivated in the tropics and subtropics, mainly as an ornamental and hedge plant, but also sometimes for its medicinal uses.

The night-blooming jasmine (Cestrum nocturnum) is aptly named because its white-yellow, tubular flowers bloom at night; the flowers close during the day. It belongs to the Solanaceae family, also known as the nightshade or potato family of plants. It is known for its scent and is quite possibly the strongest scented plant in the world. When in bloom, the flowers release a scent of sweet perfume that pervades the area within 300-500 ft of the plant.

It is a sub-tropical plant that was first discovered growing in the West Indies and was quite possibly brought to Europe by Christopher Columbus in the 15th century. It can now be found growing in subtropical regions around the world and even in temperate climates, where the winter temperatures do not fall below -10^oC

Cestrum nocturnum has become widely naturalized in tropical and subtropical regions throughout the world, including Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, southern China and the southernmost United States, and is difficult to eradicate. It is classed as a weed in some countries.

In Auckland, New Zealand, it has been reported as a seriously invasive weed to the Auckland Regional Council and is under investigation. NS Forest and Bird is compiling an inventory of wild cestrum sites in order to place the plant on the banned list. The inventory can be viewed via Google Maps.[12] Some nurseries still sell it without warning customers of the dangers to native bush reserves.
