Bel Arabian Jasmine (Jasminum sambac), known as Mogra or Bel, produces intensely fragrant double white star-shaped flowers 2-3 cm across in clusters of 3-12, opening at dusk and closing by morning, revered as India's sacred flower for weddings, puja garlands, and jasmine tea across South Asia. This evergreen scrambling shrub or vine reaches 0.5-3m with glossy opposite leaves and black berries, native to India and Bhutan while cultivated worldwide for its heady perfume used in attar, perfumes, and cultural ceremonies like Indonesia's Melati Putih national flower. The 1–2 feet plant thrives in warm humid Indian climates, perfect for trellises, hedges, or pots with continuous blooming.​
