It is frequently called, Italian yellow Jasmine by the 

 gardeners, the plants being annually brought from Italy, 

 " by those who come over with Orange Trees. These plants 

 are generally grafted upon the Common yellow Jasmine 

 stocks, (J asminum f rut wans) , so that if the graft decays, 

 the plants are of no value. This sort is somewhat tenderer 

 than the Common, yet will it endure the cold of our or- 

 dinary winters, if it be planted in a warm situation. The 

 flowers of this kind are generally larger than those of the 

 Common yellow sort, but have very little scent, and are 

 seldom produced so early in the season. It may be pro- 

 " pagated by laying down the tender branches, or by budding 

 " or inarching it upon the Common yellow sort, the latter 

 " of which is preferable, as making the plants hardier than 

 " those which are obtained from layers. They should be 

 {e planted against a warm wall; and in very severe winters 

 will require to be sheltered with mats, or some other 

 covering, otherwise they are subject to be destroyed." 



The drawing was taken at the nursery of Messrs. Whit- 

 ley, Brames, and Milne, Fulham. The plant flowers from 

 July to September. 



It is only lately that the natural abode of the Common 

 white Jasmine (officinale) has been made known to the 

 naturalist; and it appears to us very probable that that of 

 the present species will be at last discovered by the botanist 

 somewhere in the same parts, viz. Georgia and Circassla. 





NOTES. 



In vol. 3. fol. 178, and vol.4, fol. 264; for "Jasmines Brotonprod. 350." 

 read " Jasmines. Brovon prod. 1. 520." 



In fol. 344 of the fasciculus for last month, we should have mentioned 

 that the Bromeua -pallida had been lately published in Loddiges's Bota- 

 nical Cabinet (No. 76), under the title of Tijllandsia amcena. To Til- 

 landsia it cannot however belong, as having an inferior germen ; but might 

 have been added as a synonym to our plant.
