National Flower of Pakistan (According to the Govt)

[M Farooq]

I was checking the national and provincial flowers of Pk...lo and behold the national flower of Pakistan is written as "Jasmine" on the Govt website, which is indeed correct, however the picture is that of an unrelated flower (Stephanotis floribunda). And the "mistake" doesn't end there, it is an internet lifted picture :-(

How should we get it corrected?

[Izhar]

Write a letter?? or email??

[jdashraf]

Contact some media channel, Geo may be, instead... then see how it is corrected within seconds ....

Geo is a good idea ;-) instant action .... but lets try the email first. BTW, their email form doesn't work (apparently). After pressing the "send email" button, it acted like a delete button- it wiped all my text clean and the same blank email form was staring at me :-)

Wikipedia entry also shows an incorrect flower. Jasminum offincinale flower looks very different, any expert views please?

The following link is from the University of Texas herbarium, which I would call as the most authentic version:

Note the flower form is different, note the petal form (pointed in the true Jasmine, and rounded in the incorrect Wikipedia entry as well as our govt. website).
