GARDENIA ANGUSTIFOLIA, — 
Class, Order. 
PENTANDRIA + MONOGYNTA. 
We have cultivated this plant for several 
years, and it appears different from the flo- 
rida in many respects, and forms an inter- 
mediate species between that and radicans, 
to which latter it has a considerable re- 
semblance. The limb of the corolla is 
rolled back almost the whole of its length, 
which gives the flower an oblique appear- 
ance : the tube is cylindrical, and the calyx 
angular, with long awl-shaped divisions a 
little spread out. The leaves are narrow 
and sharp pointed. The plant is straggling 
in its growth, with forked branches. It 
is a native of India, and we believe was first 
sent home by the late Dr. Roxburgh to Sir 
Abraham Hume. It requires the stove, and 
may be increased by cuttings. The soil 
should be loam and peat.
