Jasmine Chubushnik. Parents of shrubs from the Hydrangea family. In Russia, this shrub is often incorrectly called jasmine for the pronounced sweet fragrance of the flowers in some species of chubushnik.According to the Flora of the USSR, the Latin name of the plant comes from the Greek ????? (phileo) â to love and ??????? (adelphos) â brother, which indicates closely related opposite shoots. Other sources claim that it is associated with the name of the Egyptian king Ptolemy II Philadelphus, who, among other things, was engaged in natural history and loved pleasant aromas.The Russianâlanguage name, chubushnik, was given to the shrub for its stems, which were used to make pipes for smoking pipes (after the soft core was extracted from them).
