栀子是原产于中国南方的一种植物，世纪中期以其不育的双花形式引入英国。它很快成为一个园艺的感觉，因为它的大白色茉莉般的花朵和气味。起初，由于缺乏可育的花朵，人们无法理解该物种的分类位置，但最终该物种被理解为与真正的茉莉花非常不同。在世纪中期，对这种植物的兴趣不仅限于其作为观赏植物的用途，而且还集中在其种子作为黄色-猩红色染料来源的潜在用途上。
Gardenia jasminoides J. Ellis, a plant native to southern China, was introduced into Britain in the mid-18th century in its sterile double-flowered form. It quickly became a horticultural sensation because of its large white jasmine-like flowers and scent. At first, understanding the taxonomic placement of the species was inhibited by the lack of fertile flowers, but eventually the species was understood to be very different from a true jasmine. Interest in this plant in the mid-18th century was not confined to its use as an ornamental, but also focused on the potential use of its seeds as the source of a yellow-scarlet dye.
