Jasmine is of those genera, the type of which has per- 
vaded the four quarters of the globe; but in unequal propor- 
tions. In Europe the name has become popular chiefly 
through the common white species, officinale ; one not 
however indigenous within the geographical boundary of 
that quarter; in relation to which, its first appearance takes 
place in asiatic Georgia and Circassia, No white-flowered 
species belongs to Europe, where the yellow-flowered fru- 
ficans alone has a station; unless indeed ћитие, another of 
similar hue, shall prove to be european; a fact not yet 
ascertained, although the plant is universally known by the 
name of the Italian Jasmine. None of the genus approaches 
these islands nearer than by the-south of France and Italy. 
The great majority of the congeners of this delightful group, 
has been engrossed by India. Africa has several. - Only
