Comments
Winter Jasmine is a low shrub, native to China and cultivated in the southeastern United States. It is reported as a rare escape in Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Maryland, New Jersey, Missouri, Oklahoma, South Carolina, and Texas.
Habitat
An enormous population of this shrub, containing hundreds if not thousands of plants, occurs on disturbed, wooded slopes along the Rappahannock River in Fauquier County. The plants obviously originated at a long-abandoned homesite but have spread some distance away, apparently mostly via layering and/or rhizomes. Other common and uncommon invasives are found nearby, including a 15-acre stand of Phyllostachys nigra (Black Bamboo).
