corolla with a terete tube, and lanceolate segments; calyx 5- 
toothed. h.. G. Native of China. G. jasminoides, Retz, 
obs. 2. p. 14. Perhaps a species of Randia. Corolla white,

p. 182.) shrubby; spines setaceous; leaves elliptic, acute at 
both ends, short; flowers sessile, solitary, terminal; calycine 
segments obtuse, and are as well as the tube glabrous. h. S. 
Native of the East Indies. Spines very short. Leaves like 
those of G. spindsa. Corolla with a long slender tube. The 
spines, according to Rottler, are stipular; hence the name. 
Stipular-spined Gardenia. Shrub.

p. 243.) branchlets terminated by 4 spines; flowers solitary ; 
leaves roundish-ovate, downy beneath, stiff, plicately veined. 
h. S. Native of South America, where it was collected by 
Humboldt and Bonpland. Willdenow says the leaves are acute- 
angled, but this is probably a mistake. 
Beach-leaved Gardenia. Shrub 5 to 6 feet. 
46 G.? corniroL1a (D. C. prod. 4. p. 384.) shrubby, spi- 
nose; branches glabrous ; leaves acuminated, ovate, rather cori-

together at the tops of the branches, sessile, subcorymbose, each 
furnished with a bifid involucel; calyx 4-toothed ; corolla vil- 
lous on the outside, with a terete tube, and a spreading 4- parted 
limb. h.G. Native of the temperate parts of New Granada, 
near Guadua. Gardénia parviflora, H. B. et Kunth, nov. gen. 
amer. 3. p. 408. t. 293. but not of Poir. Flowers white, sweet- 
scented. The ovarium and fruit being unknown, it is doubtful 
whether it belongs to the genus. 
Dogwood-leaved Gardenia. Shrub 5 feet. 
47 G.? microca’rea (Bartl. in herb. Henke ex D.C. prod. 
4. p. 384.) spines few, short, straight; leaves oblong, coriace- 
ous, shining above, quite glabrous on both surfaces, as well as 
the branchlets ; stipulas subulately acuminated; flowers 1-3- 
together, terminal, pedicellate ; limb of calyx short, tubular, 
with subulate teeth, which are much shorter than the corolla, 
which is glabrous; fruit ovate, crowned. h.S. Native of the 
Philippine islands, as in Luzon, &c. Perhaps a species of 
Randia. 
Small-fruited Gardenia. 
Cult. All the species of Gardénia bear elegant sweet t 
flowers, which in most of the species are large. They are 
generally free flowerers. The soil best suited for them is a 
mixture of loam, peat, and sand. The stove species thrive best 
in a moist heat; and cuttings of all root readily if taken off 
while not too ripe, planted in a pot of sand, which should be 
plunged in a moist heat under a hand-glass. The double- 
flowered varieties of G. florida and G. radicans are cultivated to a 
considerable extent, under the name of Cape jasmine, for the beauty 
and fragrance of their flowers ; the best manner of getting these 
to bloom freely is to set them in a close frame, on a little bottom 
heat, in spring, but the pots should not be plunged; and in 
winter they may be set in the green-house. 
Shrub 5 to 6 feet.
