sparingly pubescent. Terminal leaflets often cordate ; the lowest primary nerves 

 divaricate. Cymes terminal, 3-10-flowered, dense. Flowers altogether larger than in 

 J. auriculatum ; lobes often ^ by in. Carpels larger, in. diam. and upwards. 



34. J. flexile, Vohl Symb. iii. 1 ; glabrous, leaves opposite nearly all 

 3-foliolate, leaflets elliptic or ovate acute coriaceous distinctly nerved, cymes lax 

 axillary and terminal upper elongate paniculate longer than the leaves, corolla- 

 tube f-1 in. Wall. Cat. 2881; DC. Prodr. viii. 310; Wight Ic. t. 1253. 

 Burm. Thes. Zeyl. t. 58, fig. 1. 



DECCAN PENINSULA and CEYLON, in the lower hills, frequent. 



Scandent. Terminal leaflet 4^ by l-2 in., base rounded or obtuse ; primary 

 nerves 6 pairs, inarching. Pamcles 4-8 in. long, or the lower short few-flowered, 

 branches opposite alternate or whorled ; bracts in., linear ; pedicels |- in. Calyx- 

 teeth minute. Corolla white, lobes by in., acute or obtuse. Carpels 3 by in., 

 ellipsoid. Heyne named three examples of this in Herb. Rottler : ./. acuminatum, J. 

 azoricum and J. travancorense. The Timor J. parvifloritm, Decne., is said to have 

 much smaller flowers, but it must be very nearly allied. 



VAR. ovata, Wall. Cat. 2882 (sp.), chiefly ; leaflets obtusely cuneate at the base, 

 axillary cymes short few-flowered, pedicels f in. J. attenuatum, Wall. Cat. 2864, B, 

 not of Roxb. Khasia ; Wallich. This is possibly a var. of J. lanceolaria, Roxb. ; it 

 has leaves distinctly nerved, the flowers rather smaller. 



VAR. Hookeriana; terminal leaflet 4 by 2^ in. membranous, corolla large with 

 broad lobes. Jasminum n. 41, Herb. Ind. Or. H. /. $ T. Khasia; Hook. f. $ T. 

 This seems exactly half-way between J. flexile and J. caudatum, having the broad 

 leaflets of the former, the membranous texture and flowers of the latter. 



35. J. caudatum, Wall. Cat. 2884 ; glabrous, leaves opposite nearly all 

 3-foliolate, leaflets lanceolate or ovate-lanceolate caudate-acuminate membranous 

 distinctly nerved, cymes lax, corolla- tube f-l in. Lindl. in Sot. Reg. 1842, t. 

 26 ; DC. Prodr. viii. 310. J. ovatum, Watt. Cat. 2882, in part. 



KHASIA, alt. 0-4000 ft., frequent ; Wallich, H.f. $ T., &c. MISHMEE; Griffith. 



Only distinguishable from J. flexile, var. Hookeriana, by the narrower more 

 caudate leaves. The cyme is usually slenderer, the corolla longer, the tube attaining 

 lj in., the lobes f by ^ in. 



36. J. lanceolaria, Roxb. Fl. Ind. ed. Carey $ Wall. i. 97 ; glabrous, 

 leaves opposite nearly all trifoliolate, leaflets elliptic shortly acuminate very 

 thick, nerves obscure, cymes compound rigid thick-branched, corolla-tube 1 in. 

 DC. Prodr. viii. 310. J. lanceifolium, Roxb. Hort. Beng. 3?. 



KHASIA and JAINTEA MTS., alt. 3-5000 ft., frequent; Griffith, H.f, $ T., &c. 



A large climber. Leaflets 4 by 1 in., acute, base obtusely cuneate. Cymes com- 

 pound, trichotomous ; bracts in., linear ; pedicels 0- in., thick, still thicker in 

 fruit. Calyx-teeth minute. Corolla large, white ; lobes attaining ^ by ^ in. Carpels 

 -% in. diam., subglobose. Easily recognised by the very thick leaflets and stout 

 cymes. This has Tbeen identified by Benth. (Fl. Hongk. 216) with J. paniculatum, 

 Roxb., a Chinese plant, which has the corolla far smaller (tube in., lobes \ in.), the 

 cyme less stout, the leaflets obtuse. 



37. J. heterophyllum, Roxb. Hort. Beng. 3, and Fl. Ind. ed. Carey $ 

 Wall. i. 99 ; leaves alternate simple and 3-foliolate, leaflets ovate-lanceolate 

 glabrous, cymes very compound minutely pilose, corolla yellow tube \-% in.

NIPAL ; Wallich, Scully. MISHMEE ; Griffith. 



Scandent. Leaves 5 by 2 in. (lateral leaflets, when present, smaller), base rounded 

 or cordate, somewhat coriaceous, nerves irregular but distinct beneath. Cymes mostly 

 terminal, 10-90-flowered, branches alternate; bracts in., linear; pedicels 0- in.
