the double state of the species is not essentially different ; 
that being highly fragrant, this wholly destitute of smell. 
A tender stove plant, native of the East Indies. Our 
drawing was made at Mr. Colvill’s Nursery, in May 1826. 
Propagated by cuttings of the ripe wood, planted in peat 
and sand, and covered by a bell glass. 
That this is Roxburgh's Tabernemontana coronaria, we 
know from authentic specimens sent from the Botanic 
Garden, Calcutta. The Nepal plant of the same name, 
described by Mr. Don, with exserted anthers, an undivided 
stigma, and downy follicles, must therefore be a distinct 
species. 
A shrub growing in the stove to the height of four 
or five feet, with divaricating branches covered with an 
ash-coloured bark. Leaves ovate or oblong-lanceolate, 
thin, shining, very smooth, obtuse, but taper-pointed. 
Peduncles axillary, 2, 3, or more-flowered, smooth, erect; 
together with the flowers shorter than the leaves. Calyx 
very small, campanulate, with rounded, not leafy teeth, 
overlapping each other, and having a paler margin. Corolla ` 
large, white, scentless, hypocrateriform, with a filiform 
green tube, which is slightly ventricose towards the base; 
a flat limb, with falcate, obtuse, entire segments, wavy on 
one side, and a yellow eye, with obsolete veins. Stamens 
inserted below the middle of the tube. Stigma 2-lobed.
