 the Malay name of one of the species. Linn. 

 12, Or. 1, Nat. Or. Myrthcece. The plants of 

 this genus. are possessed of some beauty, grow- 

 ing readily in loam and peat, but they do not 

 produce their flowers till the plants attain a 

 good size. Cuttings of the ripened wood root 

 freely in sand, under a glass, in heat. Syno-

 The species of this genus are very elegant 

 when in blossom, and well adapted for orna- 

 menting rock-work. They all prefer to grow in 

 a peat soil, and require the protection of a 

 frame in severe weather, and may be increased 

 by divisions of the roots, cuttings, or seeds,

JasminAce-s:, or Jasmin-worts. These are 

 general favourites on account of the delicious 

 fragrance emitted by the flowers of several of 

 the species, from which an essential oil is 

 obtained. Most of the kinds are natives of the 

 tropics. 



Jasmine. See Jasminum. 



Jasm^num. Linnaeus derives the name from ia, 

 a violet, and osme, smell; some assert that it 

 is from ysniyn, the Arabic name of the plant. 

 Linn. 2, Or. 1, Nat. Or. Jasminaceai. The 

 species of this very elegant genus are familiar 

 to every one. The stove and greenhouse 

 kinds thrive well in a mixture of sand, loam, 

 and peat ; and cuttings of the ripened wood 

 root freely in soil or sand, under a glass, in 

 heat. The hardy kinds thrive well in any 

 common soil, and are easily increased by cut- 

 tings planted under a glass. They are re- 

 markably well adapted for training over an 

 arbour, or against a wall, or trellis-work. The 

 genuine oil of Jasmine of the shops is the pro- 

 duce of /. grandifthrum and officinale ; but a 

 similar perfume is obtained from /. Sdmbac.
