compact habit and narrower leaves.

A beautiful prub, of the section Untfoliolata, DC. It is nearly 
related to a specimen in the Paris Herbarium named Jasminum 
Delavayi by Franchet (but never published), collected by 
Bonvalot and the Prince of Orleans, between Batang and Litang 
in a humid valley, on June 19th. This has the corolla lobes 
somewhat mucronulate, and the foliage more glabrous, but I 
think it belongs to the same species. Why Franchet named it 
“J. Delavayi” in manuscript I do not know. I have not 
seen any specimens of it collected by Delavay in the Paris 
Herbarium. Therefore I prefer not to use the name suggested 
by Franchet.
