yellow, very fragrant, flowers from May to 
October. In British gardens, it was for 
some time after its first introduction kept 
in the greenhouse, or conservatory, but it 
is now commonly treated as a wall shrub, 
where it has attained the height of 15 ft., 
and it appears to be nearly as hardy as 
any species of the genus. It is readily 
propagated by cuttings, and is a fine grower 
and flowerer in any common soil and ex- 
posure. There are splendid plants of 
it against the conservative wall in the 
London Horticultural Society’s Garden. 
Plants, in the London nurseries, are 
ls. 6d. each ; at New York, one dollar.

Identification. D. Don Prod. Fl. Nep., p.106.; Don’s Mill., 4. p. 64. ? 
Synonymes. J. Wallichtanum Lindl. Bot. Reg., t. 1409. ; Climali-swa, Nepalese. 
Engravings. Bot. Reg., t. 1409, ; and our fig. 1077. 
Spec. Char.,§c. Leaves alternate, pinnate. Leaflets 
7—9; ovate-lanceolate or oblong, acuminated, 
sessile, downy while young. Branches angular, 
downy. Peduncles elongated, 1-flowered, termi- 
nal, subcorymbose, downy. Teeth of calyx short. 
Segments of corolla 5—6, obtuse. Flowers yel- 
low, and smaller than those of J. revoltitum. 
(Don's Mill., iv. p. 64.) This sort so closely 
resembles the preceding one, that we cannot 
doubt its being only a variety of it. There is a 
very large plant of it in the Horticultural Society’s 
Garden, which has stood out on the same wall 
with J. revolitum since 1832. Introduced in 
1827, and growing so vigorously in British gar- 
dens, as sometimes to make a shoot 6 ft. or more 
long in one season. It is readily propagated by 
cuttings, and the price of plants is about the same 
as that for J. revolutum, viz., from 1s. 6d. to 2s. 
each.

Description, §c, A climbing shrub, a native of Asia, from the coast of 
Malabar to Georgia; growing abundantly at the foot of Mount Caucasus, 
in woods. It generally loses its leaves in the winter season, especially in 
exposed situations; but, as its young shoots are of a fine deep green, and 
the plant is generally covered with them, it has the appearance at that season 
of an evergreen. The shoots are frequently produced 7 ft. or 8 ft. in length, 
and upwards. It is uncertain when it was introduced into Europe ; but it has
