Cestrum /faftigiatum differs from diurnum, chiefly in the 
great length of the peduncle, which is equal to, or fometimes 
longer than the leaf, and in the flowers being moftly colleéted 
into a capitulum, fomewhat in the manner of the Honeyfuckle. 
They are white and fweet-fcented both by night and day. The 
number of ftamens and of the laciniz of the corolla is very 
uncertain, varying from four to fix. 
According to Jacguin’s defcription, the berries are black, _ 
with a violet-coloured pulp, but his figure reprefents them ex- 
ternally blue. | 
We have feen fpecimens of this fpecies in the herbariums of 
Sir Josepn Banks and of Mr. Lampert ; and in both placed 
along with diurnum, from which it appears to us fufficiently 
diftine. |
