Q:
I have a mock orange in my garden. how do I tell if it is the native one? Thank you, Brenda

A:
It may be difficult to tell. The leaves of the native one should have hairier undersurfaces. It also has gray bark that does not flake or strip.
One of the exotic ones, P. coronarius, still has hairy leaf undersurfaces but less so than the native. It has brown bark that separates into flakes or strips the second year.
There are a number of cultivars out there.
