leaf, other nerves obscure. Flowers usually 3, sometimes all solitary and terminal, 
sometimes in compound many-flowered cymes ; pedicels not exceeding 1 in., by which 
the species is known from all forms of J. laurifolium. Calya-teeth 4 in., shorter than 
in J. anastomosans, glabrous in the Sikkim examples, minutely scabrid-pubescent in 
the Khasian. Corolla-tube $ in., lobes 3 by } in.

Scandent, glabrous. Leaves 24 by $ in., base obtuse or rounded, coriaceous, 
definitely 3-nerved in the cultivated examples, more membranous and anastomosing 
nerves more distinct in the native; petiole 2 in. in the wild, z in. in the cultivated 
plant. Cymes 3-5-flowered, terminal or long-peduncled and axillary ; bracts g PS 
linear; pedicels 1-3 in., not much thickened. Caly.-teeth lin. Corolla-tube $ in. 
lobes $ by à in. Fruit not seen.—Ker, whose figure of this species is excellent, 
nevertheless says he could not distinguish it from J. angustifolium (by which Ker 
meant J. sessiliflorum) ; it has 3-nerved leaves, the corolla-lobes much longer.

Scandent, glabrous. Leaves 5 by li in., base cuneate ; primary nerves 8 pairs, 
subequally distant, the lowest short; petiole 1 in., not (or very obseurely) jointed. 
Peduncles 1-flowered (in the scanty examples); bracts obsolete ; pedicels 1 in. Calyx- 
teeth Y in., and upwards. Corolla and fruit not seen. "The imperfect examples 
represent a species, apparently closely allied to J. laurifolium, but the nervation of 
the leaves is altogether different. 
21. J. sessiliflorum, Vahl Enum. i. 29; leaves small ovate, cymes 
few-flowered, pedicels short, calyx-teeth linear long, corolla medium-sized tube 
hardly so long as the narrow lobes. DC. Prodr. viii. 307. J. angustifolium,
