11 J.? vendsa (Swartz, prod. p. 47.) leaves ovate-lanceolate, 
veiny, rather membranous. h. S. Native of the West 
Indies. Swartz has omitted this plant in Flora Indice Occiden- 
talis. It is probably the Pychótria megalaspérma, Vahl. and not 
a species of the present genus. 
Veiny Jacquinia. Shrub. 
Cult. Jacquinia is a genus of very pretty shrubs, when in 
blossom, and are, therefore, very desirable in every collection of 
stove plants. A mixture of sand and peat is a good soil for 
them; and if they were watered occasionally with salted water, 
they would probably grow and flower more freely. Cuttings 
will strike root in sand, under a hand-glass, in heat.
