This new climber was sent from Buenos Ayres, by H. J. 
Mandeville, Esq., H. M. Minister at that place, to the Hon. 
W. F. Strangways, by whom seeds were presented to the Hor- 
ticultural Society. 1t had been collected by Mr. Tweedy, 
‘and sent home under the name of the Chile Jasmine. 
It has, however, no other relation to the Jasmine than 
that it is a twiner, with white fragrant flowers. The latter 
are most deliciously sweet; and, from their large size and 
snowy whiteness, very beautiful to look upon. It will pro- 
bably form an abundant flowerer ; but, like all seedling 
shrubs, its first stage of growth is more productive of foliage 
than blossoms. 
* I have much pleasure in naming this beautiful twiner after Henry John 
Mandeville, Esq. H.B.M. Minister at Buenos Ayres, to whom we arein- 
debted for the introduction of this and many other interesting plants.
