sparingly pubescent. Terminal leaflets often cordate; the lowest primary nerves 
divaricate. Cymes terminal, 3_10-flowered, dense. Flowers altogether larger than in 
J. auriculatum ; lobes often 4 by A in. Carpels larger, 1 in. diam. and upwards. 
34. J. flexile, Vahl Symb. iii. 1; glabrous, leaves opposite nearly all 
8-foliolate, leaflets elliptic or ovate acute coriaceous distinctly nerved, cymes lax 
axillary and terminal upper elongate paniculate longer than the leaves, corolla- 
tube 2-1 in. Wall. Cat. 2881; DC. Prodr. viii. 310; Wight Ic. t. 1258.— 
Burm. Thes. Zeyl. t. 58, fig. 1. 
Deccan PENINSULA and CEvrow, in the lower hills, frequent. 
Scandent. Terminal leaflet 44 by 14-2 in., base rounded or obtuse; primary 
nerves 6 pairs, inarching. Panicles 4-8 in. long, or the lower short few-flowered, 
branches opposite alternate or whorled ; bracts j in., linear; pedicels l-lin. Calyz- 
teeth minute. Corolla white, lobes 4 by } in. acute or obtuse. Carpels 4 by i m, 
ellipsoid.—Heyne named three examples of this in Herb. Rottler: J. acuminatum, J. 
azoricum and J. travancorense. The Timor J. parviflorum, Decne., is said to have 
much smaller flowers, but it must be very nearly allied. 
Var. ovata, Wall. Cat. 2882 (sp.), chiefly ; leaflets obtusely cuneate at the base, 
axillary cymes short few-flowered, pedicels Z in. J. attenuatum, Wall. Cat. 2864, B, 
not of Roxb.—Khasia; Wallich.—This is possibly a var. of J. lanceolaria, Roxb. ; it 
has leaves distinctly nerved, the flowers rather smaller. 
Var. Hookeriana; terminal leaflet 4 by 24 in. membranous, corolla large with 
broad lobes.—Jasminum n. 41, Herb. Ind. Or. H. f. 4 T.—Khasia ; Hook. f. § T.— 
This seems exactly half-way between J. flexile and J. caudatum, having the broad 
leaflets of the former, the membranous texture and flowers of the latter. 
35. J. caudatum, Wail. Cat. 2884; glabrous, leaves opposite nearly all 
3-foliolate, leaflets lanceolate or ovate-lanceolate caudate-acuminate membranous 
distinctly nerved, cymes lax, corolla-tube 2-12 in. Lindl. in Bot. Reg. 1842, t. 
26; DC Prodr. vin. 810. J. ovatum, Wall. Cat, 2882, in part. 
Kuasia, alt. 0—4000 ft., frequent ; Wallich, H. f. § T., &c. Memes: Griffith. 
Only distinguishable from J. flexile, var. Hookeriana, by the narrower more 
caudate leaves. The cyme is usually slenderer, the corolla longer, the tube attaining 
1i in., the lobes ł by 3 in. 
36. J. lanceolaria, Roxb. Fl. Ind. ed. Carey § Wall. i. 97 ; glabrous, 
leaves opposite nearly all trifoliolate, leaflets elliptic shortly acuminate very 
thick, nerves obscure, cymes compound rigid thick-branched, corolla-tube 1 in.

Kuasa and JarwTEA Mrs., alt. 3-5000 ft., frequent; Griffith, H. f, 4 T., &c. 
A large climber. Leaflets 4 by 1} in., acute, base obtusely cuneate. Cymes com- 
pound, trichotomous ; bracts i in., linear; pedicels 0—3 in., thick, still thieker in 
fruit. Calyz-teeth minute. Corolla large, white ; lobes attaining 3 by jin. Carpels 
2-4 in. diam., subglobose.— Easily recognised by the very thiek leaflets and stout 
cymes. This has been identified by Benth. (Fl. Hongk. 216) with J. paniculatum, 
Roxb., a Chinese plant, which has the corolla far smaller (tube } in., lobes 4 in.), the 
cyme less stout, the leaflets obtuse. 
37. J. heterophyllum, Roxb. Hort. Beng. 3, and Fl. Ind. ed. Carey § 
Wall. i. 99; leaves alternate simple and 3-foliolate, leaflets ovate-lanceolate 
glabrous, cymes very compound minutely pilose, corolla yellow tube 1-3 in.

Scandent. Leaves 5 by 21 in. (lateral leaflets, when present, smaller), base rounded 
or cordate, somewhat coriaceous, nerves irregular but distinct beneath. Cymes mostly 
terminal, 10-90-flowered, branches alternate; bracts è in. linear; pedicels 0—3 in.
