WHITE FLOWERED BARRINGTONIA. 



There is a species of barringtonia in the Tavoy and 

 Mergui jungles with drooping spikes of white flowers 

 three or four feet long; and which would be much ad- 

 mired if introduced into the cities. The leaves are very 

 large and lyre-shaped, and both flowers and foliage 

 would contrast well with the other trees around it. The 

 species is not described in any of the books to which I 

 can refer.

 great ornament.

ARABIAN JASMINE. 



This jasmine is probably more universally cultivated 

 than any other flower. The comm:n double variety is 

 more generally seen, but the single flowered, with a twi- 

 ning habit is not infrequent.
