The present is a low shrub, seldom exceeding three or four 

 feet in height. It is much more common in the gardens 

 about Paris, where it serves for ornamental hedges, than 

 about London, where the winters are too damp for it, the 

 branches being generally more or less damaged during that 

 season ; nor is it every year that serves for the expansion of 

 the blossom in any tolerable state. Cultivated by Mr. John 

 Tradescant in 1656. No botanist has been yet able to in- 

 form us from what quarter of the world it derives its origin ; 

 and though known in our gardens by the name of the Italian 

 Jasmine, it has only been called so from the plants of it 

 having been formerly imported by the Italian warehouse- 

 men, along with their Orange-trees, &c. from Italy. It 

 seems to us nearer to Jasminum revolutum, figured in the 

 178th article of this work, than to any other species we are 

 ncquainted with. 



Miller has the following article concerning it.
