NOTES 397 
by Mr. K. Dinter, from Okahandja. J. pandurata dies down 
every autumn. JI. murucoides and I. rubrocerulea must be cul- 
tivated as annuals. The latter, with large blue flowers, is of 
great beauty in the autumn, until the middle of December. 
IRIs. 
Most species grow well at La Mortola, and some are very 
drought-resisting. We are indebted for a great many species to 
Miss Willmott, and to Mr. J. Lynch, of the Royal Botanic Gar- 
den, Cambridge. 
I. Ciengialtt var. veneta was kindly sent by Prof. R. Pam- 
panini, of Florence, in 1910, from the classical locality ‘“ Provincia 
di Treviso: presso Vittorio nella Valle Meridionale del Passo di 
S. Uboldo, &e.” 
JACARANDA OVALIFOLIA. 
This is an excellent tree for the Riviera. It has graceful 
deciduous foliage, and bright blue flowers, which appear in June 
and July, and are succeeded by flat, round capsules. 
JANUSIA PROLIXA. 
We are indebted for this interesting climber, as well as for a 
great many other plants, to Prof. G. Poirault, of Villa Thuret, 
Antibes. 
J ASMINUM. 
Most species of this noble genus do very well, especially so the 
fine J. primulinum. J. grandiflorum much resembles J. officinale 
in habit, shape, and colour of its leaves and flowers. The leaflets, 
however, are more equal in size, and generally broader than in 
J. officinale, which has small lateral and a large terminal leaflet. 
The flowers, too, are about double the size. 
JUBHA SPECTABILIS. 
A young plant was received by Mr. Daniel Hanbury from Prof, 
Decaisne, Director of the Jardin des Plantes, Paris, in May, 1868. 
Its trunk, with the bases of the old leaves, measures now 3:50 m. 
in circumference. J. spectabilis is very hardy, and is successfully 
grown as far north as the Italian Lakes. The most stately 
specimen of it along the Riviera was to be found, until a few 
years ago, at Villa Thuret, Antibes. It had a trunk 7:50 m. high, 
with a circumference of 4:10 m. at 1 m. above the soil. This 
specimen flowered for the first time in June, 1894, and produced 
large quantities of fruits. 
JUNIPERUS. 
J. Cedrus was received from Kew in 1909, and seeds were 
repeatedly sent by Dr. G. Perez, of Orotava. J. bermudiana was 
grown from seeds received from Kew in 1910. Of J. drupacea 
three male plants were procured from Messrs. Veitch & Sons in 
January, 1868, by the late Mr. D. Hanbury. J. chinensis, J. ex-
