graceful climber; and when trained upon a wire globe trel- 

 lice, with the mass of dark green foliage and the countless 

 clusters of large white or rather cream-coloured flowers, 

 as we have seen it in the collection at Ealing Park., few 

 plants can be more attractive. To add to the interest of 

 it, the blossoms exhale the most delicious fragrance. Two 

 other species, Stephanotis Thouarsii and S. acuminata, 

 are also described by Brongniart ; and from them ours is 

 readily distinguished by the copious-flowered umbels, and 

 the greater size of the corolla. It flowers in the summer 

 months.

 coriaceous, dark green, entire leaves, having a short, re- 

 curved acumen, and petioles about half an inch long.

 pedicel an inch in length. Calyx small, five-lobed, spread-

 thers terminated by a membrane, under which they are, as 

 it were, concealed. Pollen-masses erect.
