Jasminum abyssinicum

Jasminum abyssinicum, called forest jasmine, is a species of jasmine in the olive family, Oleaceae. It is a strong to slender woody climber of high-altitude montane forests, climbing into the forest canopy, with stems that can be as thick as 13 centimetres. The leaves are opposite and trifoliolate, and the sweetly scented flowers are white, tinged with pink on the outside. The fruits are single or two-lobed berries. It is native to Africa from Ethiopia to KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa, and has been reported from Burundi, Cameroon, Rwanda, Congo-Kinshasa, Eritrea, Kenya, Uganda, Malawi, Mozambique, Zambia and Zimbabwe. The article says the Maasai people of Kenya use the plant as a medicinal remedy for wounds, and that in sheep it is traditionally used to treat the parasitic nematode Haemonchus contortus. The article does not describe any ritual use.
