4S6. Vanguiera. An abbreviation of the Madagascar name of one species, Voa-vanguier. A fine looking 
bush, with broad, green, entire leaves. It is said to bear a fine fruit as big as an orange. 
^7. Gardenia. So named by Ellis, in honor of his friend and correspondent A. Garden, M. D. of Charleston, 
m Carolina, who sent home many new species of plants. This is a beautiful genus, and most of the species 
are highly odoriferous, and free flowerers. G. florida, on the first approach, smells like the flower of t-he 
orange, but on being more closely smeUed to, like Narcissus. According to Thunberg, there are hedges of it 
in Japan, and the Japanese are very fond of it near their houses, and in the walks of their gardens. The 
iruit and seeds are used there to dye yellow. G. Rothmannia smells most during night : it bears an ovate, 
flesny, angular berry, black when ripe, and about the size of a small pear. Almost all the species are spiny 
in their wild state ; but lose their spines at an advanced age, or under high culture and keeping In the stove
