pretty large open, brachiate panicies,

Sans, Hema-psoohpika, 
A native of the mountainous countries north of Hindoostan. 
Colonel Hardwicke found it on his journey to Sirinagur, 
(see Asiat, Res, vi, 349. Jasminum, No, 3.) and Dr. Buchanan 
in Nepal. In the ‘Botanic garden it grows freely from 
cuttings, and becomes a stout, erect ramous shrub, even a 
small tree, without the smallest tendency to lean, or twine, 
Flowers more or less the whole year; but, like the other 
species, the proper season is April and May, at which time it 
is the most desirable Jasmine I have yet seen, 
Stem stout and woody, in plants seven or eight years old 
as thick as a man’s leg. Bark smooth, ash-coloured. Young . 
shoots erect, flexuose, angular, smooth ; height of the shrub 
from eight to twelve feet. Leaves sdbershaib} unequally pin- 
nate; at the base of the young shoots ternate or even some- 
times- solitary. Leaflets two, or more generally three pair, 
and a terminal one ; opposite, lanceolate, smooth, dark green, 
be ‘not glomy; from one and a half to. three inches long. y 
ymbs generally terminal, from ten to twenty-flowered, as 
in ong figure of Jasminum odoratissimum, in Curtis's Bot,
