Brunfelsia hopeana likely refers to its status as an introduced plant and its fragrance resembling that of jasmine; its flowers initially open in purple and the fragrance is strongest at night, hence it is also known as (Purple Leaf Fragrant Flower). The most distinctive feature of Brunfelsia hopeana should be the process of its flowers opening, which involves a color change. Each flower starts as a deep purple and gradually turns to light purple or pink, eventually becoming white. Thus, it appears as though the same plant is covered with flowers of different colors, hence the names "Color-Changing Jasmine" or "Multicolored Jasmine."
