Jasminum odoratissimum, L- 
Madeira. Shrubby like the rest. Flowers yellow. TJsed 
like the foregoing and following for scent. This may be 
prepared by spreading upon wool or cotton, slightly saturated 
with olive oil or other fixed oil, the flowers, and covering 
them with other layers so prepared. The flowers are 
renewed from time to time until the oil is thoroughly per- 
vaded by the scent, when the latter is withdrawn by 
Alcohol. Other modes of extracting the oil exist. 
Jasminum officinale; L- 
From the Caucasus to China. Flowers white. This is 
the principal species cultivated in South Europe for its 
scent. 
Jasminum Sambac, Aiton. 
From India to Japan. It would probably endure our cool 
season in the northern and eastern regions. It has the 
richest perfume of all. The bush attains a height of 20 
feet, and is almost climbing. The flowers are white, and 
must be collected in the evening before expansion. The 
relative value of many other species of Jasmin, nearly all 
from the warmest parts of Asia, seems in no instance to 
have been ascertained, as far as their oils or scents are 
concerned. Our Australian species are also deliciously 
fragrant, amongst which J. linear e, Br., occurs in our Vic- 
torian deserts, while also J. didymum, Forst. ; J. racemosum, 
F. V. M. ; J. simplicifoUum, Forst. ; J. calcareum, F. v. M., 
and J. suavissimwn, Lmdl., reach extra-tropic latitudes. 
Jubsea spectabilis, Humboldt. 
The tall and stout Coquito-Palm of Chili. Well adapted 
for our extra-tropic latitudes. A kind of treacle is obtained 
from the sap of this Palm. The small kernels are edible. 
Justicia Adhatoda, H. 
India; enduring the climate of the lowlands of Victoria. 
This bush possesses anti-spasmodic and febrifugal properties. 
It can be utilized also as a hedge-plant. 
Kentia Baueri; Seemann. 
The Norfolk Island Palm. Height 40 feet.
