subcoriaceis, oblongo-ovatis ad late ovato-lanceolatis, glabris, 
tenuiter acute acuminatis, basi rotundatis ad subacutis, peniner- 
viis, usque ad 11 cm longis, nervis utrinque circiter 7, petiolo 
articulato; inflorescentiis terminalibus, paniculatis, multifloris, 
calycis laciniis 6 ad 8, haud 1 mm longis. 
A scandent shrub, the leaves and branches glabrous, the young 
branchlets and inflorescence, including the calyces, distinctly pub- 
escent with short, rather pale hairs. Branches and branchlets 
dark reddish-brown when dry, smooth, not lenticellate, terete. 
Leaves opposite, firmly chartaceous to subcoriaceous, oblong- 
ovate to broadly ovate-lanceolate, 6 to 11 cm long, 3 to 5 cm wide, 
dull and brownish-olivaceous when dry, gradually narrowed up- 
ward to the slender and sharply acuminate apex, the base rounded 
to subacute ; nerves about 7 on each side of the midrib, distinct, 
obscurely anastomosing, not impressed, the reticulations lax, 
obscure; petioles glabrous, 8 to 10 mm long, jointed below the 
middle. Panicles terminal, pubescent, rather many-flowered, the 
bracteoles and bracts pubescent, acicular or linear, 1 to 2 mm 
long, partial inflorescences in the axils of the upper reduced 
leaves, forming a somewhat leafy inflorescence 8 to 10 cm in 
length. Calyx-tube somewhat funnel-shaped, 2 to 3 mm long, 
pubescent, narrowed below to the pedicel, the teeth 6 to 8, short, 
narrow, pubescent, less than 1 mm long. 
Amboina, Hitoe messen, Rel. Robins. 2032, October 10, 1913, climbing 
on trees at an altitude of about 150 meters. 
This species, apparently not previously described, resembles Jasminum 
bifarium Wall, in general appearance and in its vegetative characters. 
It is distinguished, however, by its very short calyx teeth.

A shrub, apparently scandent, quite glabrous except for some 
of the younger branchlets, which are minutely puberulent. 
Branches and branchlets slender, terete, brownish or brownish-
