sparingly pubescent. Terminal leaflets often cordate ; the lowest primary nerves 

 divaricate. Cymes terminal, 3-10-flowered, dense. Mowers altogether larger than in 

 tT. awrieulatv/m ; lobes often 5 by ^ in. Carpels larger, j in. diam. and upwards. 



34. J. flexile, Vald Symh. iii. 1 ; glabrous, leaves opposite nearly all 

 3-foliolate, leaflets elliptic or ovate acute coriaceous distinctly nerved, cymes lax 

 axillary and terminal upper elongate paniculate longer than the leaves, coroUa- 

 tube 1-1 in. Wall. Cat. 2881 ; DC. Prodr. viii. 310 ; Wight Ic. t. 1253.— 

 Burm. Thea. Zeyl. t. 58, fig. 1. 



Deccan Peninsula and Cbtlon, in the lower hills, frequent. 



Scandent. Terminal leaflet 4^ by lJ-2 in., base rounded or obtuse; primary 

 nerves 6 pairs, inarching. Panicles 4-8 in. long, or the lower short few-flowered, 

 branches opposite alternate or whorled ; bracts ^ in., linear ; pedicels |-J in. Cah/x- 

 teeth minute. Corolla white, lobes ^ by J in., acute or obtuse. Carpels ^ by i in., 

 ellipsoid.-^Heyne named three examples of this in Herb. Rottler : J. acuminatum, J. 

 azoricum and J. travancorense. The. Timor J, parviflonim, Decne., is said to have 

 much smaller flowers, but it must be very nearly allied. 



Vab. ovata, Wall. Cat. 2882 (sp.), chiefly ; leaflets obtusely cuneate at the base, 

 axillary cymes short few-flowered, pedicels 1 in. J. attenuatum. Wall. Cat. 2864, B, 

 not of Eoxb. — Khasia ; Wallich. — This is possibly a var. of J. lanceolaria, Eoxb. ; it 

 has leaves distinctly nerved, the flowers rather smaller. 



Vae. JHookeriana ; terminal leaflet 4 by 2^ in. membranous, corolla large with 

 broad lobes.— Jasminum n. 41, Herb. Ind. Or. H. f. §■ T.— Khasia; Hook. f. ^ T.— 

 This seems exactly half-way between J. flexile and J. caudatum, having the broad 

 leaflets of the former, the membranous texture and flowers of the latter. 



35. J. caudatum, Wall. Cat. 2884 ; glabrous, leaves opposite nearly aU 

 3-foliolate, leaflets lanceolate or ovate-lanceolate caudate-acuminate membranous 

 distinctly nerved, cymes lax, coroUar-tuhe |-1^ in. lAndl. in Bot. Reg. 1842, t.

Khasia, alt. 0-4000 ft., frequent ; Wallich, H.f. ^ T., &c. Mishmee; 



Only distinguishable from J. flexile, var. Hookeriana, by the narrower more 

 caudate leaves. The cyme is usually slenderer, the corolla longer, the tube attaining 

 ly in., the lobes | by ^ in. 



36. J. lanceolaria, Roxb. Ft. Ind. ed. Carey Sr Wdl. i. 97 ; glabrous, 

 leaves opposite nearly all trifoliolate, leaflets elliptic shortly acuminate very 

 thick, nerves obscure, cymes compound rigid thick-branched, coroUa-tube 1 in,

Khasia and Jaintea Mts., alt. 3-5000 ft., frequent; Chriffith, H.f, ^ T., Sec. 



A large climber. Leaflets 4 by 1^ in., acute, base obtusely cuneate. Cymes com- 

 pound, trichotomous ; bra'cts | in., linear; pedicels 0-J- in., thick, still thicker in 

 fruit. Calyx-teeth minute. Corolla large, white ; lobes attaining J by ^ in. Carpels 

 ^-J in. diam., subglobose. — EasEy recognised by the very thick leaflets and stout 

 cymes. This has been identifled by Benth. (Fl. Hongk. 216) -with J. paniculatmn, 

 Eoxb., a Chinese plant, which has the corolla far smaller (tube ^ in., lobes 5- in.), the 

 cyme less stout, the leaflets obtuse. 



37. J. heterophyllum, Roxb. Sort. Beng. 3, and Fl. Ind. ed. Carey Sr 

 Wall. i. 99 ; leaves alternate simple and 3-foliolate, leaflets ovate-lanceolate 



glabrous, cymes very compound minutely pilose, coroUa yellow tube ^-^ in.

Scandent. Leaves 5 by 2J in. (lateral leaflets, when present, smaller), base rounded 

 or cordate, somewhat coriaceous, nerves irregular but distinct beneath. Cymes mostly 

 terminal, 1 0-90-flowered, branches alternate; bracts ^ in., linear; pedicels 0-| in.
