This plant has been long considered in Bombay to be the Jasminum laiifolium 

 of Eoxburgh, but a comparison of Wight's figure of that plant (t. 703) with that of 

 J. malabaricum (t. 1250) will at once shew the difference between the two. The 

 mistake appears to iiave originated with J. Graliara, who assumed the Bombay plant 

 to be J. latifoliiim, Roxb. Wight at tlie time (1839) had not described J. malabaricum, 

 whieh he did in 1850. Dalzell & Gibson perpetuated Graham's mistake, which haa 

 hitlierto remained uncorrected.
