The present is a low shrub, seldom exceeding three or four 
feet in height. It is mutch more common in the gardens 
about Paris, where it serves for ornamental hedges, than | 
about London, where the winters are too damp for it, the 
branches being generally more or less damaged during that 
season; nor is it every year that serves for the expansion of 
the blossom in any tolerable state. Cultivated by Mr. John 
Tradescant in 1656. No botanist has been yet able to in- 
form us from what quarter of the world it derives its origin; 
and though known in our gardens by the name of the Italian 
Jasmine, it has only been called so from the plants: of it 
having been formerly imported by the Italian. warehouse- 
men, along with their Orange-trees, &c. from Italy. It 
seems to us nearer to Jasminum revolutum, figured in the 
178th article of this work, than to any other species we are 
acquainted with. 
Miller has the following article concerning it.
