The article begins: Jasminum sambac (syn. Nyctanthes sambac) is a species of jasmine native to southwestern and southern Asia, ....
but I have a comprehensive Pilipino - English dictionary that says
sampaga n (Bot.) 1. a species of shrub (Jasminum sambac Ait.) with very fragrant white flowers bigger than those of sampagita.
sampagita n. (Bot.) a a spreading or sprawling, smooth shrub (Nyctanthes sambac Linn.) ....
Does anyone know if these are really synonyms or different species?

Personally, I do not think this is an officially registered cultivar name. It seems to be a trade name in the US. It was imported by a nursery called TopTropicals. And every other information on this trade name seems to rely on information sourced from them. It seems to be a cultivar that is already common in Asia (and most likely goes by other name) but is relatively new to the US. It should be noted that the name for this cultivar in English seems to have been first published by that nursery.
Also, there seems to be no academic source (e.g. botanical journal) that mentions this cultivar. Obsidian, I noticed you even have a sourced reference for this article, but that source seems to get their information from TopTropicals. Even the pictures used on that site comes from < http://toptropicals.com/catalog/uid/jasminum_arabianknights.htm>. I don't believe this cultivar should be officially be listed with a trade name in this article. It should be noted that it is an unregistered cultivar (at least as far as I know). But it is popularly referred to as 'Arabian Knights' or 'Arabian Nights' because of TopTropical's influence in the nursery trade and on plant enthusiasts. TL;DR; Trade names should not be represented as officially registered cultivars. -- Dara ( talk) 05:24, 14 May 2011 (UTC)

It has also been shown to have antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, anti-pyretic, analgesic, antioxidant, gastroprotective, anti-cancer and anti-obesity effects.[citation needed] Besides, it works as an antidepressant.[27]
The cited article, https://zenodo.org/record/1210527/files/57.Jasminum, seems to be making extravagant and wild claims. Is it is a reliable source? 09:30, 23 June 2020 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by PeepleLikeYou ( talk • contribs)
1) Your link above is doesn't work, but try this instead:
https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.1210527
2) Zenodo certainly seems legit; being funded by
CERN is about as legit as you can get! However, it just makes available research from lots of different sources. In this case, the LD50 claim is from the INDO AMERICAN JOURNAL OF PHARMACEUTICAL SCIENCES." (I'm too lazy to re-type it in normal capitalization.) The paper in question lists many folk medicinal uses uncritically, as if this plant really is good fer whatever ails ya. Therefore I question whether this journal, or at least the paper, is a RS.
3) According to this paper, that LD50 of 5 mg/kg is in rats, not humans.
4) I suggest either deleting that one-sentence section on Toxicity or expanding it to include doubt about its authenticity.

I've tried to sort out the garbled chemical names in this section, but I remain dubious particularly about the presence of natural siloxanes.-- Keith Edkins ( Talk ) 12:51, 28 September 2020 (UTC)
