WILD JASMINE. 



There is a wild climbing jasmine seen throughout the 

 Provinces festooning the forests, and arching the path- 

 ways with its delicate flowers, like a wreath of snow flakes 

 flung over the arms of a Canada spruce. 

 Jasminum syring&folium.

TREE OF MC 



The iree of mourning, sometimes called ni at-blooming 

 flower, is as great a faforite in inuia as in the Southern 

 States of America. Its delicate orange and white blossoms 

 pour the most delicious fragrance on the evening air, and 

 then fall in showers, bedewing the earth's cold bosom with 

 sweetness 



Nyctanthes Arbor tristis,

PERIWINCLE TREE. 



This is a handsome shrub almost constantly covered 

 with blossoms, that can scarcely be distinguished from the 

 flowers of the rosy-periwincle, though of a different genus. 

 It was iirst discovered in Burmah, and Roxburgh, who 

 introduced it into the Botanical Garden, said in his des- 

 cription : " The flower is like those of Vinca rosea, but 

 larger and faintly fragrant ; it is in fact one of the most 

 ornamental shrubs in the garden. " 



Calpicarpum Koxburghii. 



Cerbera fructicosa.

ROSA. 



The rose is quite naturalized on the Coast, and is one 

 of the abundant flowers in the European gardens. It is 

 cultivated by the natives also to a small extent, and the 

 flowers sold in bazar.
