'''''Jasminum multiflorum''''', commonly known as '''star jasmine''',<ref name=GRIN>{{GRIN | accessdate=5 February 2012}}</ref> is a species of [[jasmine]] in the family [[Oleaceae]]. <br />
<br />
In Indian mythology, Kund is known for its whiteness. So, instead of the common western phrase 'white as snow', what often appears in Hindu mythological stories is 'white as kunda'. Also, beautiful white teeth are often compared to Kunda buds. It is held to be especially sacred to Vishnu.<br />
In Manipur, Kundo flowers are used in worship, and are an essential part of a marriage ceremony. The bride garlands the groom with two Kundo flower garlands. The groom then takes one of the two and garlands the bride.{{citation needed|date=March 2020}}<br />

== Distribution ==<br />
''Jasminum multiflorum'' is native to [[India]], [[Nepal]], [[Bhutan]], [[Laos]], [[Burma]], [[Thailand]], and [[Vietnam]]. It is widely cultivated in tropical and subtropical regions. While Jasmine flowers are known for its attractive and intensely fragrant flower, this species does not have any scent. The species is reportedly naturalised in [[Florida]], [[Chiapas]], [[Central America]], [[Queensland]], and much of the [[West Indies]].<ref name="GRIN" /><ref>[https://apps.kew.org/wcsp/namedetail.do?name_id=351552 Kew World Checklist of Selected Plant Families, ''Jasminum multiflorum'' ]</ref><ref name="APNI">{{cite web |url=https://www.anbg.gov.au/cgi-bin/apni?TAXON_NAME=Jasminum+multiflorum |title=''Jasminum multiflorum'' |accessdate=5 February 2012 |work=[[Australian Plant Name Index]] (APNI), IBIS database |publisher=Centre for Plant Biodiversity Research, Australian Government, Canberra |archive-date=17 May 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220517002752/https://www.anbg.gov.au/cgi-bin/apni?TAXON_NAME=Jasminum+multiflorum |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref>[https://bonap.net/MapGallery/County/Jasminum%20multiflorum.png Biota of North America Program, ''Jasminum multiflorum'']</ref><br />
