The word “Cestrum” refers to a genus of flowering plants in the nightshade family, Solanaceae. These plants are commonly known as the “night-blooming jasmine” or “Cestrum.” They are notable for their tubular, often fragrant flowers that typically bloom at night and can attract nocturnal pollinators. Some species are cultivated for ornamental purposes and can be found in gardens and landscapes. Additionally, some species of Cestrum may have toxic properties if ingested.
