depending on its smooth leaves, and its axillary nearly sessile corymbi or fasciculi, which are niiicli shorter than their subtending leaves ; Ijut even in the specimen con- tained in the collection presented to the l]ritish ^luseuni by Sir Thomas iMitchcll, the young branches, as well as the pedunculus and pedicelli, arc covered wiPli similar ])ubesccnce, and in the same degree as that of J. lincare ; the specimens from l)amj)ier's Archipelago have leaves equally smooth, but have the inflorescence of J. lineare ; and I have s])ccimens of J. hneare in which, with the usual ])ubescence of that species, the inflorescence is that of Mitchellii. Among Sir Thos. Mitchell's collection at the Museum, there is a Jasminum not noticed by Professor m Lindley, -which, though very nearly related to J. lineare, and possibly a variety only, may be distinguished by the following character.

Jasminuin {)nic rani hum) cinereo-pubescens, foUis ternatis ; foliolis hmceato-linearibus, pedunculis axillaribus 1-3 floris, covollae laciniis obtusis dimidio tubi brevioribus.
