The sampaguita flower (Jasminum sambac) primarily employs chemical defenses to protect itself from herbivores and pathogens. It produces secondary metabolites, such as essential oils and alkaloids, which can deter feeding by insects and other animals. Additionally, its strong scent may attract beneficial insects or pollinators, indirectly providing a defense by promoting pollination and reproductive success. Overall, these mechanisms help the plant enhance its survival and reproductive strategies in its natural habitat.
