Flowers: The most striking feature of the Paarijatham plant is its fragrant flowers. The flowers are small, typically white with orange centers and have a strong, sweet scent that is most intense during the night, hence the name "Night-flowering Jasmine." The flowers bloom at night and fall off in the morning, which adds to their unique charm. The plant produces abundant clusters of flowers that bloom throughout the year in tropical climates.

Leaves: The leaves of the Paarijatham are oval, deep green, and arranged opposite to each other along the stem. The leaves are relatively simple, and the plant has a woody structure. The leaves may sometimes emit a pungent odor when crushed, but they do not have the same strong fragrance as the flowers.

Growth Habit: Paarijatham is a shrub or small tree that typically grows 10–15 feet (3–4.5 meters) tall. It has a dense, bushy growth and often requires some maintenance to keep its shape. It can be grown as a hedge or shrub and can also be trained into a small tree if pruned properly.

Seeds: The plant produces small fruits that contain seeds, and once the flowers drop, the fruit develops. The seeds are generally spread by wind due to the way the fruit is designed.
