 This beautiful Jasmine was first collected by me in fruit only 

 on Kedah Peak. The specimens however were too incomplete 

 for description and Dr. King and Mr. Gamble made it a 

 variety of /. Maingayi, Clark, suggesting that it might be a 

 distinct species. The excellent specimens above described 

 show that it is quite distinct.
