EUCALYPTUS TREES. 321 
Jasminum Sambac, Aiton.— From India to Japan. 
It would probably endure our cool season in the north- 
ern and eastern regions. It has the richest perfume 
ofall. The bush attains a height of 20 feet, and is 
almost climbing. The flowers are white, and must 
be collected in the evening before expansion. The 
relative value of many other species of jasmin, nearly 
all from the warmest parts of Asia, seems in no 
instance to have been ascertained, as far as their oils 
or scents are concerned. Our Australian species are 
also deliciously fragrant; among which J. lineare, 
Br., occurs in our Victorian deserts; while also J. 
didymum, Forst.; J. racemosum, F. v. M.; J. sim- 
plicifolium, Forst.; J. caleareum, F. v. M., and J. 
suavissimum, Lindl., reach extra-tropic latitudes. 
Jubeea spectabilis, Humboldt. — The tall and stout 
Coquito Palm of Chile. Well adapted for our extra- 
tropical latitudes. A kind of treacle is obtained from 
the sap of this palm. The small kernels are edible. 
Justicia Adhatoda, L. — India; enduring the cli- 
mate of the lowlands of Victoria. This bush pos- 
sesses anti-spasmodie and febrifugal properties. It 
can be utilized also as a hedge-plant. 
Kentia Baueri, Seemann. —The Norfolk Island 
Palm. Height 40 feet. 
Kentia Belmoriana, M. and M.—The Curly Palm 
of Lord Howe’s Island. About 40 feet high. With 
its congeners, evidently destined to grace our gar- 
dens, and to become also important for horticultural 
traffic abroad. 
Kentia Centerburyana, M. and M.—Umbrella Palm 
of Lord Howe’s Island. Likewise a tall and hardy 
palm,
