Telosma cordata (Tonkin jasmine, pakalana vine, Tonkinese creeper, Chinese violet, (Vietnamese Thiên lý), (Thai: ดอกสลิด Dok salit) is a species of flowering plant native to China, with a Chinese name 夜香花.[3] It is cultivated elsewhere and may occur wild as an introduced species. The plant bears clusters of golden yellow blooms along the vining stems during summer months. Individual blooms emerge successively over a period of weeks emitting a rich, heavy fragrance during the day and night.

Uses

The flower buds are used in Southern Chinese cuisine, Vietnamese cuisine and Northern Thai cuisine, where they are stir-fried or boiled in broth.
