Trachelospermum jasminoides is an evergreen woody liana growing to 3 m (10 ft) high. When they meet a wet surface, they emit aerial weed roots, otherwise they surround the support (they are twining). If cut, like most Apocynaceae, they exude a white latex, resembling sticky milk. Young twigs, initially pubescent, become glabrous with age. The leaves are opposite, oval to lanceolate, 2β10 cm (3β4β3+7β8 in) long and 1β4.5 cm (3β8β1+3β4 in) broad, with an entire margin and an acuminate apex. Dark green in summer, the leaves turn bronze in winter.
