Evidence of G. jasminoides in cultivation in China dates to the Song Dynasty (960-1279 AD), where both wild and double-flowered forms have been depicted in paintings, such as those of the Song Emperor Huizong,[1] and the Tenth century artist Xu Xi.[2] The Yuan Dynasty (1271–1368) saw it on lacquerware, and the Ming Dynasty on porcelain (1368–1644).[3] Gardenias were seen in nurseries in Guangzhou in 1794 by English statesman Sir John Barrow.[3]
