"A native of the mountainous countries north of Hindoo:tan. Colo- 
. nel Hardwicke found it on his Journey to Sirinagore, (see As. Res. 
vi. 349. Jasmmum, No. 3.) and Dr. Buchanan m Napaul. Tn the. 
Botanic Garden it grows freely from cuttings, and becomes a stout, 
erect ramous shrub, even a small tree, without the smallest tenden- 
cy to lean, or twine. Flowers more or less the whole year; but, like 
the other species, the proper season is Apriland May, at which time - 
it is the most desirable Jasmine Ihave yet seen. 
Stem stout and woody, in plants seven or eight years old as ihiok: 
as a man's leg. Bark smooth ash-coloured. Young shoots erect, flex- 
uose, angular, smooth; height of the shrub from eight to twelve 
feet.— Leaves alternate, unequally pinnate; at the base of the young. 
shoots ternate or even sometimes solitary. ^ Leaflets two, or more 
generally three pair, and a terminal one ; opposite, lanceolate, smooth, 
dark green, but not glossy; length from one and a half to three inches, 
—— Corymbs generally terminal, from ten to twenty-flowered, as in. the 
figure of Jasminum odoratissimum, in Curtis’s Bot. Mag. No. 985. 
_—Flowers large, bright yellow, delightfully fragrant.— Bractes ensi- 
form.— Calycine segments five, alternate, nearly as the tube of the ca- 
lyx.—Segments of the corol five, oval, obtuse, length of the tube.— 
Filament short. — Anthers linear, with their apices rather above the 
mouth of the tube of the corol.—Germ two-celled, with two. ovula in 
each, attached to the middle of the partition. Sate half the e ‘ 
of the tube. : Stigma clavate.
