Features: Milán, also known as Orange Jessamine, belongs to the Meliaceae family. It is an evergreen shrub or small tree with many branches. The leaves are alternate, imparipinnately compound, with 3-5 pairs of opposite leaflets that are obovate or oblong. The leaves are green and hairless. It blooms in summer and autumn, with small, dense, yellow flowers that are highly fragrant. However, the fragrance is only noticeable from a distance; up close, it does not seem as fragrant. This is one of the most distinctive features of Milán.
