Tabernemontana. PENTANDRIA MONOGYNIA. 25 
This is a large, tamous shrub, I have only found it in 
the Botanic Garden of the Company at Calcutta, where 
it flowers during the rains. 
Trunk short ; branches numerous, two-forked; bark ash 
coloured ; young shoots dotted, Leaves opposite, cross« 
armed, short-petioled, reclined, oblong, pointed, waved, 
pale green, but smooth on both sides ; from 4 to 8 inches 
long and two or three broad. Peduncles from the divisi- 
ons of the branchlets, solitary, few-flowered. Flowers 
pure white, fragrant. Calyx five-leaved, leaflets cordate, 
smooth, falling. Corol ; tube a little gibbous above the 
middle, and there the stamens are lodged ; divisions of the 
border curled. | Germs two, each one-celled, containing 
four vertical rows of ovula, two on each side, attached to 
the inner elevated margins of the cell. Follicles oblong, 
three-six-seeded. Seeds surrounded with their proper 
pulpy arils, &c. &c: as in T. Coronaria, 
I never saw this species with double flowers, nor is it 
so ornamental as even the single flowered. T. Coronaria. 
‘To distinguish it from that species, attend to the calyx, 
and follicles chiefly, the leaves being in this also oppo— 
site, made me change the Linnean specific name atterni- 
Folia, for crispa on account of its curled petals.
