Abstract
Recent phylogenetic investigations about <em>Jasminum</em> s.l. have shown that species possessing both alternate leaves and yellow flowers (sect. <em>Alternifolia</em>) constitute a clade (monophylum) that is sister to all the other sections of the genus or even to <em>Jasminum</em> itself plus the American/South African genus <em>Menodora</em>. Such evidence sets the need to revise the generic delimitation of <em>Jasminum</em> by establishing a separate genus for the species belonging to sect. <em>Alternifolia</em>. As a consequence, the new genus <em>Chrysojasminum</em> is here established and the relevant nomenclatural combinations are supplied for fifteen taxa.
