All old inhabitant of our gardens, but now neglected for 

 newer favourites. Nevertheless this Jasmine is sweet, pretty, 

 easy to cultivate, and not growing more than five or six feet 

 high, its slender branches are particularly well adapted to 

 be wreathed round one of those moveable trellises which 

 gardeners now employ with so much advantage for their 

 tender climbers. 



It is a native of the Cape of Good Hope, according to 

 Thunberg as high as a man in Lange Kloof, by the great 

 stream called Zonder End, and in the neighbourhood of 

 Brederivier. 



It is a hardy greenliouse plant, flowering all the summer 

 long. The drawing was made in the garden of the Society 

 of Apothecaries at Chelsea.
