Tonkin jasmine
ดอกสลิด (Dok salit)
The Tonkin jasmine plant bears clusters of golden yellow blooms along the vine. Individual blooms emerge successively over a period of weeks emitting a rich, heavy fragrance during the day and night. The flower buds are used in Northern Thai cuisine where they are stir-fried or boiled.
