What does Molly look like?

Single-petalled jasmine is short, 70~90 cm high, with slender stems and vines, so it is called liana jasmine. The leaves are oval, thin, slightly pointed, plump, 5-9 cm long and 3.5-5.5 cm wide. Corolla is single-layered, with few lobes (petals), 7~ 1 1 piece, each piece is about 1.3 cm long and 1 cm wide, oval, white, slightly wrinkled on the surface and slightly pointed at the top, so it is also called pointed jasmine. A single jasmine flower has a long corolla tube, about 65438 0.5 cm, and two stamens, the same as the pistil length. Aggregate inflorescences, terminal or axillary, with 3~ 12 flowers per inflorescence and more than 30 flowers. The bud is slightly longer, smaller and lighter. China's single-petalled jasmine has been cultivated in many places for many years, forming many local varieties, among which Fujian Changle, Fuzhou, Jinhua and Taiwan Province provinces have high yield and good quality. Among them, jasmine in Taiwan Province Province is refreshing, fresh and pure. A single jasmine flower bud blooms early, and the current flower bud usually blooms at 6-7 pm. Each hundred flowers weighs about 22 ~ 25g, which is lighter than that of Jasminum bicuspidata. Jasmine tea made of single-petal jasmine is not as good as double-petal jasmine because of its rich aroma and fresh taste. Single-petal jasmine has strong drought tolerance and is suitable for planting at the foot of the mountain and hilly slope. However, the flower yield is not as good as that of double-petal jasmine, with the yield per 0.067 hectare 150~200 kg and the height not exceeding 400 kg. Not cold-resistant, waterlogging-resistant, and weak insect resistance.

Second, jasmine.

Jasmine bicuspidata is the main variety cultivated in large areas in China. The plant height is1~1.5m. It is an erect tufted shrub with many branches, thick and hard stems and grayish brown wrinkles on the epidermis at the base of the stems. Young stems are green, and strong branches are angular and short-haired. Leaves opposite, broadly ovate, entire, reticulate veins, dark green, thick and shiny. Aggregate inflorescence, terminal or axillary, with 3~ 17 flower buds per inflorescence, with more than 30 flowers. The flower buds are oval with flat or slightly pointed tips, also known as flat-headed jasmine. Double jasmine flowers are usually of good quality and have sharp tips. The flower is bigger than the single-petalled jasmine, and its water content is slightly lower. Corolla tube is slightly shorter than jasmine, about 1 cm long. Corolla lobes (petals) are more, 13~ 18, and the base is arranged in two layers in tile shape, with 4~8 inner layers and 7~ 10 outer layers. Petals are about 1. 1 cm long and about 1 cm wide. 2 stamens, pistil 1 piece. The flowers are white and oily, with obvious waxy feeling, rich fragrance and delayed fragrance. The flower bud is about 2 hours later than that of a single jasmine flower. Now the flower bud usually blooms around 8-9 pm, so the natural fragrance can be delayed by more than ten hours. The weight of flowers is about 23g in spring, 30g in summer and 26g in autumn. The scented tea made of double-petal jasmine tea is full of fragrance. Although it is not as fresh and pure as single-petal jasmine tea, double-petal jasmine branches are tough, resistant to pressure, cold and moisture, easy to cultivate and high in yield per unit area. At present, double-petalled jasmine is mainly planted in all parts of China. Planting in Hengxian County, Guangxi, can be sown and harvested in the same year. The yield of flowers per 0.067 hectare can reach 150~200 kg, that of three-year flowers per 0.067 hectare is about 500 kg, that of five-year flowers is about 800~ 1000 kg, and the highest can reach 1500 kg.

Three, multi-petal jasmine

There are obvious verrucous processes on the branches of multi-petalled jasmine. The leaves are dark green, the buds are tight, round and short, and the top is slightly notched. Corolla lobes (petals) are small, thick and numerous, generally 16~2 1, with 3~4 layers of tile-like arrangement at the base and distinct layers when opening. Stamens 2~3. The budding flowers of multi-petal jasmine flower mostly at 7~8 pm, and most of them bloom on the 1~2 floor first, and the rest bloom the next day. There are also those that do not open and wither. Multi-petal jasmine has a long flowering period, light fragrance and low yield, so it is not ideal as a scented tea flower. However, it has strong drought tolerance and thrives in dry land on hillside. For example, through cross breeding (or grafting) with excellent single-petal or double-petal jasmine varieties, it is likely to obtain new jasmine varieties (new plants) with strong resistance, good quality and high yield.
