596 XCII. OLEACEX. (C. B. Clarke.) [ Jasminum. 
14. J. decussatum, Wall. Cat. 2860; leaves ovate-lanceolate hairy, 
flowers in clusters upon compound trichotomous villous cymes, calyx-teeth short 
linear recurved villous, corolla-tube about 4 in. DC. Prodr. viii. 306 ; Kurz 
For. Fl. ii, 151, and in Journ. As, Soc. 1877, pt. ii. 241. 
Prov and TexassznrM, frequent; Wallich, Griffith, Se, 
Seandent; branchlets villous. Leaves 4 by 1$ in., acuminate, base obtuse, mature 
hairy at least beneath, coriaceous ; nerves few, remote; petiole 3 in. Cymes terminal 
compound, and on short lateral branches; bracts } in., linear; pedicels 0 or 0-1 in. 
Calyx-teeth } in. Corolla smaller than in any of the preceding species ; lobes } in., 
narrowly lanceolate. Carpe! 4 by } in., ellipsoid. 
tt Calyx glabrous (the series proceeds from the species with long to those 
with short calyx-teeth). 
15. J. cordifolium, Jail. Cat. 2858; leaves cordate-lanceolate acumi- 
nate glabrous, cymes crowded many-flowered, calyx-teeth subulate, corolla-tube 
nearly lin. G. Don Gen, Syst. iv. 60; DC. Prodr. viii, 304. J. erectiflorum,

Scandent, glabrous. Leaves 4 by 1% in. coriaceous; nerves 7 pairs, the lowest 
divaricate, secondary obscure; petiole 4-3 in. Cymes often 20-flowered, shortly 
repeatedly trichotomous ; bracts i in., linear; pedicels 4 in. Calyx-teeth à—À in. 
Corolla-lobes 3 in., elliptic, acute. Carpels nearly A by $ in., ellipsoid.—G. Don says 
the leaves are 3-nerved, the cymes pubescent, which will not apply to the present 
(nor to any Nilgherry) species ; Wight has noted in his Herb, that J. erectiflorum, 
A. DC., is J. cordifolium, Wall. 
16. J. anastomosans, Wail. Cat. 2863; leaves elliptic-lanceolate 
acuminate glabrous imperfectly 3-nerved, cymes 1—5-flowered axillary, calyx- 
teeth long linear, corolla-lobes very long narrow. DC. Prodr. viii, 305 ; Kurz

Seandent, glabrous. Leaves 4 by 14 in., very acute, base obtuse sometimes cordate, 
membranous ; lowest pair of nerves strong, carried along the margin, upper slender, 
distinct, resembling the secondary; petiole } in. Cymes slender, on short lateral 
branches sometimes leafy, but more frequently altogether axillary; bracts i in., 
linear; pedicels A in. Calya-teeth 4-$ in. — Corolla-tube $ in., lobes 7—10, often 1 in. 
Carpels 4 by } in., ellipsoid; ealyx-teeth in fruit often thickened, divaricate, stellate. 
Van. silhetensis, Blume Mus. Bot. i. 271 (sp.) ; corolla-lobes a little shorter than 
the tube. J. trinerve, Wall, Cat. 2848, chiefly.—Silhet.—J. trinerve, Vahl, is defined 
as having the corolla-lobes only half as long as the tube; but, after all the labours of 
Blume, it may be a question whether the Indian plant is other than a form of it, as 
Roxburgh considered. 
17. J. subtriplinerve, Blume Mus. Bot, i. 272; leaves elliptic-lanceo- 
late acuminate glabrous 3-nerved, cymes 1-7-flowered axillary and terminal, 
calyx-teeth linear, corolla-lobes oblong acute shorter than the tule, J. trinerve,

Closely allied to J. anastomosans. Leaves coriaceous, distinctly 3-nerved, the 
basal primary pair of nerves often carried near the margin nearly to the tip of the
