Gynochthodes jasminoides

Gynochthodes jasminoides, commonly known as sweet morinda or jasmine morinda, is a woody climber or scrambling shrub in the family Rubiaceae native to eastern Australia, occurring in Queensland, New South Wales, and Victoria, with disjunct records in the Northern Territory and Western Australia. The species inhabits rainforest, vine thicket, and moist gully vegetation, often climbing into the canopy by means of slender twining stems. The leaves are opposite, simple, elliptic to ovate-lanceolate, 4 to 12 centimetres long and 2 to 5 centimetres wide, with a glossy dark green upper surface, paler beneath, an acute apex, and conspicuous interpetiolar stipules at each node. The fragrant flowers are tubular and salverform, white to faintly purplish, 1 to 1.5 centimetres long, borne in small terminal or axillary cymes, with five spreading lobes and a long slender corolla tube reminiscent of jasmine, from which the common name derives. The fruit is a small fleshy syncarp, ovoid to ellipsoid, ripening from green to bright orange.
