Real JuiJasminum molle, commonly known as Indian Jui, is a beautiful flower with extremely heavy gardenia type scent. This species is not very common though it deserves a special attention. For those who are familiar with this plant, Jui is a most wonderful Jasmine. A stunning, small scandent bushy plant with simple ovate dark green small leaves and powdery satin white flowers. Possessing a strong gardenia like scent, flowers appear in bunches from summer to fall. Very easy to grow, takes both sun and shade, dry and moist conditions. Highly recommended jasmine for scented garden or as indoor plant. A must for everyone who appreciates fragrant flowers. The flower is held sacred to all forms of Goddess Devi and is used as sacred offerings during Hindu religious ceremonies. The common names for Jasminum molle are Jui (Hindi), Jai (Marathi), Yuthika (Sanskrit), Uccimalligai (Tamil), Adavimalle (Telugu), Sucimulla (Malayalam) and Sanna mallige (Kannada). The Order Lamiales is a taxon in the asterid group of dicotyledonous flowering plants. Lamiales formerly had a restricted circumscription (e.g., by Arthur Cronquist) that included the major families Lamiaceae (Labiatae), Verbenaceae, and Boraginaceae plus a few smaller families. Recent phylogenetic work has shown that Lamiales is polyphyletic with respect to order Scrophulariales and the two groups are now usually combined in a single order that also includes the former orders Hippuridales and Plantaginales. Lamiales has become the preferred name for this much larger combined group. The placement of Boraginaceae is unclear but phylogenetic work shows that this family does not belong in Lamiales. The circumscription of Scrophulariaceae, formerly a heterogeneous para/polyphyletic group defined primarily by plesiomorphic characters and from within which numerous other families of the Lamiales were derived, has been radically altered to create a number of smaller, better-defined and putatively monophyletic families. Under this definition some well-known members of Lamiales are lavender, lilac, olive, jasmine, the ash tree, teak, snapdragons, and a number of table herbs such as mint, basil, and rosemary. Under the older Cronquist system of classification, the Lamiales included the families Lamiaceae, Verbenaceae, Boraginaceae, and Lennoaceae. Many of the other families listed below were placed in the Order Scrophulariales. Inclusion of all the following families is typical of newer classifications: Species in the order Lamiales show typically the following characteristics, although there are exceptions to all of them: superior ovary composed of two fused carpels five petals fused into a tube bilaterally symmetrical, often bilabiate corollas four (or fewer) fertile stamens There are about 11,000 species in the Lamiales. They are divided among 10 or more families (Uni-Ham 52e 2002-09-06): Family Lamiaceae (mint family) 200 genera, 3200 species (according to Gleason & Cronquist) Placed in this order by cladists. Family Verbenaceae (verbena family) Family Scrophulariaceae (figwort family) about 190 genera and about 4000 species. According to the APG II this family is to be recircumscribed to include Buddlejaceae and Myoporaceae and exclude several former members; these are assigned to Calceolariaceae, Orobanchaceae, Paulowniaceae, Phrymaceae and Plantaginaceae Family Myoporaceae 3 genera (Uni-Ham 52efam 2002-09-06) Family Orobanchaceae (broomrape family) 5 genera. Not listed in Uni-Ham; used to be included in Scrophulariaceae. (siu.edu 2002-09-06) Family Acanthaceae (acanthus family) (incl. Avicenniaceae) about 250 genera and about 2500 species. Uni-Ham acanth 2002-09-06) Family Pedaliacae (pedalium family) 17 genera (Uni-Ham 52efam 2002-09-06) Family Bignoniaceae (trumpet creeper family) about 100 genera and about 800 species (Uni-Ham bignoni 2002-09-06) Family Lentibulariaceae (bladderwort family) 3 genera (Uni-Ham 52efam 2002-09-06) Family Plantaginaceae (plantago family) (includes the former Globulariaceae) Family Paulowniaceae Family Martyniaceae Family Byblidaceae Family Phrymaceae Family Schlegeliaceae Family Stilbaceae Family Tetrachondraceae Family Carlemanniaceae Family Gesneriaceae (gesneria family) about 150 genera and 3200 species Family Calceolariaceae (slipper flowers) Family Oleaceae (olive family) about 25 genera (Kew Oleaceae 2002-09-06) and about 600 species (ole 2002-09-06). Sometimes found under Gentianales. Family Plocospermataceae
