Madeleine,
  Here is South Carolina  we have both Forsythia and Jasmine.
They are two different plants.
 
The forsythia is a decidious shrub, with the blooms appearing
before
the leaves pop out in the spring.
 
Jasmine on the other hand is more of a fast growing evergreen
vine
(there may be a variety that is more shrublike, but i believe it
is evergreen as well).
 
Before everyone crushes me, I do not know the scientific name of
either.
 
Hope this helps.
