Gynochthodes jasminoides is a woody climber or a scrambling shrub in the family Rubiaceae.McCune, S. (1992) [http://plantnet.rbgsyd.nsw.gov.au/cgi-bin/NSWfl.pl?page=nswfl&lvl=sp&name=Gynochthodes~jasminoides PlantNet: Gynochthodes jasminoides] New South Wales Flora online from 'Flora of New South Wales' Vol. 3: 497. National Herbarium of New South Wales, Royal Botanic Gardens, Sydney, Australia In Australia it is found on the northern and eastern coasts, in Western Australia, the Northern Territory, Queensland, Victoria, and New South Wales.

Taxonomy

Gynochthodes jasminoides was first described by Allan Cunningham in 1834 as Morinda jasminoides. In 2011, based on new molecular studies, the genera Morinda

and Gynochthodes were redescribed, which necessitated new combinations and names in these genera. This resulted in Morinda jasminoides being assigned to the genus Gynochthodes by Sylvain Razafimandimbison and Birgitta Bremer.

Description

It is a woody climber or scrambler, with opposite leaves. The flowers are usually terminal and occur in 3–20-flowered heads. The corolla is white to purplish and the flowers have an orange syncarp.

It is found growing in moist rainforest{{Cite web |title=Gynochthodes jasminoides |url=https://eflora.nt.gov.au/factsheet?id=5203 |access-date=2024-12-28 |website=eflora.nt.gov.au}} and vine-thickets, often in gullies.
