A native of Nipal, seeds from which country having 
been given to Mr. Tate by the Honourable and Reverend 
William Herbert, grew and produced the plant from which 
this drawing was taken. 
It is nearly related to Jasminum revolutum, from which 
it is known by its small-sized flówers, and by the nearly 
uniform number and figure of its leaves and leaflets, par- 
ticularly by the terminal leaflet being always much more 
acuminated than the side ones. When dry it may readily 
be mistaken for J. revolutum. It has been named in com- 
pliment to Dr. Wallich. It is perfectly hardy, and must 
be considered a great addition to our shrubberies. M 
* Linneus tells us that the derivation of Jasmine is to be found in lo, a 
violet, and Sow, perfume. But it appears from the writings of the Arabian 
Botanists Mesue, Ebn Alva, and Abulfadli, that its vernacular Arabian 
denomination is lasmyn or Ismyn.
