 shrub, a native of Madeira, where it 

 grows 3 ft. or 4 ft. high, and flowers L. — = jv: 

 from June till September. It was - ^ ' 

 introduced in 1656, and is not unfre- 

 quent in collections, being annually 

 imported from Genoa, with the orange 

 tree ; and hence it is frequently called 

 the Italian yellow jasmine. There 

 are vigorous-growing plants of this species in the Horticultural Society's 

 Garden, and in the Hammersmith Nursery. Price \s. 6(1. or 2s. per plant.

Spec. Char., S^c. Arboreous. Leaves alternate, simple or trifoliolate, oblong- 

 elliptic or broad-ovate, acuminated, waved, lucid, firm, glabrous. Panicles 

 terminal, trichotomous, 

 fastigiate, corymbose, 

 downy. Calyx urceo- 

 late, with short subu- 

 late teeth. Segments 

 of the corolla oblong, 

 equal to the tube in 

 length. Leaves vary- 

 ing in size and form. 

 {Don's Mill.,\v.^.QZ.) 

 This species, in its na- 

 tive country (Nepal), 



grows to a middle-sized ' il \ 1fC^ 1015 



tree, with long round 

 liranches, which have a 

 tendency to become rambling. In British gardens', into which it was intro- 

 duced in 1820, it is always planted against a wall; and it appears to be as 

 hardy as J. revolutum, the next species. Plants against the wall, in the 

 Horticultural Society's Garden, have stood out sinc^e 1832, and have flow- 

 ered freely. The flowers are very numerous, of a bright yellow, and fra- 

 grant.
