Nota Ringkas (Short Notes)


Pokok bunga menjalar ini ditanam kerana bunga putihnya yang harum dan cantik. Harumannya lebih kuat pada waktu awal malam. Ditanam daripada keratan batang muda. Pokok ini perlu dipotong selalu untuk mengawal bentuk pokoknya.

The climbing plant with white flowers is planted mainly for its delicate fragrant flowers. The sweet scent is strongest in the early part of the night. Grows from cuttings of young wood. The plant needs to be pruned regulary to keep it in shape.
