 cies of tall climbers from tropical America with large,

 curable in the East. The plant closely resembles Dipla-

 calyx 5-parted, with several glands inside at the base or 

 5 scales; corolla tube cylindrical or ovoid; lobes 5, 

 broad, twisted to the left: stamens fl.xed at the apex of 

 the tube, included; disk of ,") lobes or scales: ovary of

Buaveolens, Lindl. Sometimes called Chilean Jasmine
