duced to Kew, from which collection we have been favoured 
with specimens, that flowered in April, 1833. In habit it 
resembles a Jasminum: and as a species, it approaches 
very near to M. parvifolia, D C., a native of the Island of 
Luconia, one of the Philippines. 
Descr. In the cultivated state, Mr. CunnineHam ob- 
serves that this is a very variable plant. In some situa- 
tions, in the houses at Kew, it forms a dense bush, in others 
a volubilously-branched shrub, with lanceolate or elliptico- 
lanceolate leaves, entire, shortly acuminated, sometimes 
undulated, with or without foveolated blotches in the axils 
of the nerves: when present, they are sometimes two, op- 
posite each other, or three, four, or five scattered. Séi- 
pules membranaceous, brown, acute. Peduncles axillary, 
forked, bearing two leaves, and two capitula, each of from 
two to five flowers. Germens combined into one body. © 
Limb of the calyx scarcely any. Corolla pale buff-coloured ; 
Tube narrow, limb of three, four, or five segments, reflexed. 
Stam. three, four, or five; Filaments short. Anthers ovate, 
deep yellow. Stigmas two, long, linear, acute.
