Stephanotis floribunda Brongn. - syn. Stephanotis jasminoides Schltr.; Marsdenia floribunda (Brongn.) - Apocynaceae
Madagascar jasmine, waxflower, Kranzschlinge

Native vine of Madagascar. „Growing to 6m (20 ft) or more, it is an evergreen woody climber with glossy, leathery oval leaves and clusters of pure white, waxy, intensely fragrant tubular flowers.“ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephanotis_floribunda

Diurnal changes of volatiles collected from the headspace of S.floribunda flowers show methyl benzoate and 1-nitro-2-phenylethane are emitted in the night and linalool mainly during the day. The highly sensitive 2,6-dimethyl-3(E),5(Z),7-octatriene-2-ol and its 5(E) isomer (natural ratio 1:10, sweet floral odor) are present in the headspace of the flowers (evening 2-4%, day 0.1-0.3%). Methyl benzoate (30-80%), linalool (up to 15%) and 1-nitro-2-phenylethane (5-40%) as main volatiles present in the headspace of the flowers showed the same rhythm with peak emissions in the night between hour 18-6.

„Stephanotis floribunda (Asclepediaceae), a plant that grows in Madagascar and is now a common house plant, emits a number of volatiles from its flowers. Its floral scent has been noted to increase in intensity during the night. At this time prominent scent compounds include benzyl alcohol, benzyl acetate, benzyl benzoate, eugenol, α-farnesene, linalool, linalool oxide, methyl benzoate (MBA), methyl salicylate (MSA), β-ocimene, phenylethyl alcohol, and 1-nitro-2-phenylethane.“

The flowery-spicy, cinnamon-like smelling 2-nitroethylbenzene (1-nitro-2-phenylethane) was found in the headspace trappings of Stephanotis floribunda at 27%.
