Abstract
A new and novel seedling Gardenia jasminoides plant, named `Star Bright` is disclosed and is particularly characterized by its large, single flowers of pure white petal color. Petals have elongated claws, which are covered at their articulation with the corolla tube, by normally strongly reflexed golden-yellow, elongated anthers which assume an adpressed position over the basal petal connections. Petals and anthers are inferior to the lobed stigma which is of a slightly lighter color than that of the anthers. The classic, simple, single white flowers stand out conspicuously over the lush, deep green leaves. The plant is a multi-stemmed rounded shrub of medium canopy density which attains a height and span of two or more meters when growing under conditions to which it is adapted.
