    So though the common name is "star jasmine", it's in Apocynaceae family, not in the Oleander family with Jasmine. [edited: see Silver surfer's note - of course I meant Oleaceae]

    Oops, sorry, that's what I read, and then I only read four letters of the original posting or something. Thanks, Silver surfer.
