BRIEF: Are these plants poisonous?


QUESTION:
Are any of these plants poisonous? Star or Confedrate Jasmine(Trachelospermum Jasminoides) Pink Jasmine(Jasminum polyanthum)

ANSWER:
I have no first hand knowledge of these plants, nor can I find them in any poisonous plants book. Yellow Jessamine is very different, it is related to the plant that makes strychnine, but has a different set of alkaloids.
