lations obsolete or nearly so; petioles 3 to 5 mm long, jointed 
below the middle. Inflorescence terminal and terminating short 
lateral branches, or in the axils of the upper leaves, slender, 
peduncled, few-flowered, usually about three flowers in each in- 
florescence, the peduncle often supplied with a few, oblong, apic- 
ulate, greatly reduced leaves or leaf-like bracts less than 1 cm 
long, the bracteoles very slender, linear-acicular, 2 to 3 mm long. 
Calyx-tube glabrous, cup-shaped, about 2 mm long, the teeth 6 
to 8, linear, glabrous, persistent, about 6 mm long. Corolla-tube 
7 to 8 mm long.

Perhaps as closely allied to Jasminum ensatum Blume as to any other 
species, but the petioles, peduncles, and calyces quite glabrous; the leaves 
much smaller; and the calyx-lobes relatively much longer.

Chionanthus ramiflora Roxb. was described from specimens cultivated in 
the botanic garden at Calcutta originating in the Moluccas, probably 
Amboina. The typical form is also cultivated in the botanic garden 
at Buitenzorg, Java, from specimens originating in Amboina. I have a 
series of specimens before me from Burma, Indo-China, various parts 
of Malaya, the Philippines, and tropical Australia, that I unhesitatingly 
refer to this species. The Philippine forms, Linociera luzonica (Blume) 
F.-Vill., and L. cumingiana Vid. must both certainly be reduced to this 
widely distributed species.
