As far as we can judge by Vahl’s description of Jas- 
minum trinerve, it appears to us that there is no material 
difference between his plant and the present; the only 
point in which they do not agree being the compound 
nature of the inflorescence of this plant, and the solitary 
flowers of J. trinerve. But this difference cannot be 
esteemed important, it having been remarked by Roxburgh, 
that the flowers of his Jasminum trinerve were solitary the 
first year the plant blossomed in the Botanic Garden, 
Calcutta, but became nine in a succeeding season. We 
have not, however, met with any authentic specimens of 
Vahl’s species. ; | 
As to the Jasminum trinerve of the Flora indiéa; 
although no one has remarked the great discrepancy be- 
tween the accounts of Roxburgh and of Vahl, it seems to us
