PuNGO Andongo. — A shrub, climbing bigb and very widely ; leaves 

 subcoriaceous, but little shining ; flowers very agreeably fragrant, 

 white, present during nearly the whole year ; corolla-limb 7- to 9-olef t. 

 In wooded rooky thickets at the outskirts of forests near the prte- 

 sidium ; fl. middle of Dec. 1856. No. 927. 



The distinction between the two species here brought together, 

 which is alleged to exist in the comparative length of the calyx-tube 

 with its lobes, does not always hold good. Both are very closely 

 related to J. paucifloi-um Benth. in Hook. Niger Fl. p. 443 (1849), 

 perhaps too closely for specific separation.
