THE JASMINE TRIBE. 



Shrubs, usually tv?ining, and 1 tree, by Lindl. referred to 3 genera. Of 

 these, Spreng. syst. assigns 8 to New Holland and the South Sea Islands ; 

 3 to S. Africa ; 3 to Brazil and Peru ; 2 to Guinea; 2 to China ; 1 to Co- 

 chin China ; 1 to the Azores ; 1 to S. Europe ; and 2 to Madeira. Wall. Cat. 

 adds 1 Jasminum for Mauritius, and Lindl. 1 Bolivaria for Mexico. In 

 the E. Indies have been discovered &Q species of Jasminum, and 1 of 

 Nyctanthes. Of these about 20 have been found in the Himalayas, the 

 Khassya Mountains, and Assam ; the rest are natives of Bengal, both Pe- 

 ninsulas of India, Ceylon, Sunda Islands, and the Moluccas. 



" Properties not very different from those of Oleaceae, except that their 

 oil is deliciously fragrant, and produced by the flowers, and not by the peri- 

 carp. The genuine essential oil of the shops is produced by the Jasminum 

 officinale and grandiflorum ; but a similar perfume is also procured from 

 Jasminum Sambac." {Lindl.)
