I am not fond of common names-they tend to confuse more than help. Look at the confusion just in this thread! lol I do think that if you intend to sell them, that the botanical name is the proper way to go and then maybe a common name in parenthesis. I do however think that "good smelly plants" is perfectly acceptable to group your other plants under!

The Duke of Tuscany is one of the sambacs-of which you have three, like ecrane said. They do tend to smell stronger than some of the other jasmines ( smelly good), and can be profuse bloomers. They all love full sun.

Murraya is not a jasmine and here is an example of where common names confuse. Yes, they have jasmine as a common name for it, but also "orange" and it is definitely not a citrus that produces fruit. Same with mock orange-etc.

here is Belle of India this summer. You also might look into J. nitidum-also a nice jasmine to have
