i\ native of the mountainous countries worth o( Hi^idoodan. Colo- 

 nel Hardwicke found it on his Journey to Sirinagore, {see As. Res. 

 \i. 349. Jasminum, No. 3.) and Dr. Buchanan in 'Tapani. In the 

 Botanic Garden it grows freely from cuttings, and becomes a stout, 

 erect ramous shrub, even a small tree, without the smallest tenden- 

 cy 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 tmie 

 it is the most desirable Jasmine I have yet seen. 



Stem stout and woody, in plants seven cr eight years old as thick 

 as a man's leg. Bark smooth ash-coloured. Young shoots erect, flex- 

 uose, angular, smooth; height of the shrub from eight to twelve 

 {eeU— Leaves alternate, unequally pinnate ; at the base of the young 

 shoots ternate or even sometimes solitary. Leaflet?, two, or more 

 generally three pair, and a terminal one ; opposite, lanceolate, smooth, 

 dark green, but not glossy; length from one and a half to three inches. 



Corymbs generally terminal, from ten to twenty-tiowered, as in the 



figure of Jasminum odoratissimiim, tn Curtis' s Bot. Mag. No. 285. 

 ^Flowers large, bright yellow, delightfully fragrant.— Brac/es ensi- 

 ionw.— Calycine segments five, alternate, nearly as the tube of the ca- 

 \^x.— Segments of the corol five, oval, obtuse, length of the tube.— 

 Filament short. Anthers linear, with their apices rather above the 

 mouth of the tube of the corol.— Germ two-celled, with two ovula in 

 each, attached to the middle of the partition. Style half the length 

 of the tube. Stigma clavate.
