“04 PENTANDRIA MONOGYNIA. Taternemontana. 
Trunk trifling, but numerous, two-forked branches, 
with a pretty smooth light ash-coloured bark. The whole 
shrub is about 6 or 8 feet high. Leaves opposite, short- 
petioled, spreading, lanceolar, smooth, shining, deep 
green; margins waved a little, with elevations above the 
veins ; four or six inches long. Stipules within the leaves, 
Tesinous as in most species of Gardenia. Peduncles ge- 
‘nerally solitary, from the divisions of the branchlets, one 
or two inches long, from one to eight flowered. Flowers 
pure white, and delightfully fragrant during the night. 
Calyx five-toothed. Corol funnel shaped ; tube contract- 
ed towards the mouth, and crowned with small yellow 
glands, (which brings it in this respect near to Nerium ;) 
border five-parted ; divisions obliquely ovate, and curled 
at the margins. Stamens rather below the middle of the 
tube. Germs two. Style short. Stigma single, headed with 
its slender apex, bifid. Feollicles spreading ; and recurv- 
ed singly, from one to three incheslong. Seeds three to 
six, irregularly oblong, dark brown, and striated ; each 
enclosed in its own proper, fleshy, deep red pulpy ari 
Perisperm conform to the seed ; with the cordate cbiliile.. 
dons lodged in its thick end, and the long, cylindric, 
straight radicle, directed to the small end. 
Note, This pulp seems fit for yielding a very beautiful 
colour. ‘The double flowered variety is much more com- 
mon than the single and i is more beautiful; few shrubs 
surpassing it.
