YELLOW JASMINE 



Jasmimim revohitiim. 



LTHOUGH somewhat common^ 

 this is not an old plant, 

 for it flowered for the first 

 time in this country in the 

 garden of the Right Hon. 

 Charles Long, at Bromley, in 

 Kent, in the year 1814.. The 

 flowers then produced served 

 for the first figure of it pub- 

 lished, forming No. 1,731 of 

 the Botanical Magazine, is- 

 sued in the year 1815. The 

 tree is a native of Northern 

 India, but in general cha- 

 racters com.es near to the 

 European J. friiticans and 

 /. Jiumile, which are useful 

 border shrubs, producing yel- 

 low flowers. 



In former notes on spe- 

 cies of Jasminum we have 

 spoken of the fragrant white jasmine, the favourite of 

 the family, and the winter-flowering species from China 

 that has of late years proved quite hardy near London,
