_ The fpecies of Cestrum have been hitherto very indifferently _ 
chara€terized ; in fa&t, a great addition having been made to the 
genus by Jacquin in his Hortus Schoenbrunnenfis, it was not — 
to be expeéted that charaéters framed only for a few {pecies, 
although they might ferve to diftinguifh fuch as were then known 
from one another, fhould apply to thofe fince difcovered. The 
tooth-like appendage to the filaments is, in this fpecies at leaft, 
too inconftant a charaéter to be ufeful. 
The laciniz of the corolla in our plant are obtufe; but as, 
foon after expanding, the fides are rolled back, efpecially 
towards the point, they appear in that ftate more acute than 
they really are. In Cestrum fajfligiatum, figured at No. 1729, 
the laciniz are rolled back from the apex towards the poe 
pe day
