 scandent milky shrub, native of South America. It has oblanceolate 

 acuminate leaves in whorls of 2 to 4 and large yellow flowers. Penang : 

 G. King ; Deschamps. Singapore : T. Anderson. 



2. Carissa Carandas, Linn. Mantiss. I. 52 (1767). A large ever- 

 green thorny shrub, native of India, with small white flowers and an 

 edible fruit. Malacca : Maingay. 



3. LocHNERA rosea, Eeichb. Consp. Eeg. Veg. 134 (1828). A 

 garden shrub with shining obovate leaves and white or pink flowers ; 

 common in gardens, and also found run wild on roadsides especially

There are probably others, which, like Plwneria acutifolia, Poir., 

 Nermm Oleander, Linn., and Thevetia neriifolia, Juss., are commonly 

 cultivated in gardens in tlie Peninsula, but do not run wild. We have, 

 however, seen no specimens.
