Gardenia jasminoides
Gardenia jasminoides J. Ellis (also G. augusta (L.) Merr.; common names: Common Gardenia, Cape Jasmine or Cape Jessamine; Kuchinashi (Japanese) and Zhi zi (Chinese 梔子)), fragrant flower growing in Southern China, Taiwan and Japan.
The bloom is used as a yellow dye, which is used for clothes and food (including the Korean mung bean jelly called hwangpomuk).
The Cape Jasmine name comes from the earlier belief that the flower originated in Cape of Good Hope, South Africa.
