Van. 1. Sambac proper; corolla-tube not twice the length of the calyx. 
Var. 2. Heyneana, Wall. Cat. 2871 (sp.); leaves small, corolla-tube 2-5 times as 
long as the calyx-teeth.—Deccan Peninsula; Heyne.—Leaves 1-1} in. Calya-teeth 
we in. Corolla-tube Lin. Style sometimes as long as corolla-tube (unlike any in 
J. Sambac type, but in this polymorphic genus, little reliance can be placed on this 
character). Forms of J. Sambac approaching this var. are in eultivation in Bengal ; 
it appears from Rottler's herb. to have been (as Wallich records under Wall. Cat. 
2871) the typical J. undulatum, Heyne, and therefore of Linnæus, Willd., and the 
older authors. It is probably a cultivated var. of J. Sambac as none of the examples 
appear to be native ones. 
9. J. undulatum, Ker in Bot. Reg. t. 436, not of Willd.; leaves short- 
etioled ovate-lanceolate pubescent on the nerves beneath, cymes dense often 
ardly exceeding the uppermost leaves, calyx-teeth 4-4 in. subulate pubescent.

Seandent; branchlets, pedicels and calyx densely fulvous-villous. Calyx-teeth 
with patent yellow hairs, erect or curved in fruit. Otherwise as in J. undulatum, 
Ker, which has more acuminate, less hairy leaves.—Nyctanthes hirsuta, Linn. Sp. 
Pl. 8, is generally taken for this and the name hirsutwm preferred, but Linnseus 
founded his plant on Rheede Hort. Mal. vi. t. 48, which is not J. pubescens. Rheede 
Hort. Mal. vi. t. 54 is usually quoted for J. pubescens, but from the shape of the leaves 
it seems more likely to be J. Rottlerianum or J. Thwaitesii, The name J. multiflorum, 
Roth, has been much disputed: Roth says he took it from Heyne, but Heyne's 
original plant with the ticket descriptive of J. multiflorum, in his handwriting, is 
preserved in Herb. Wight, and is J. Rottlerianum, This however could not have been
