Chalcas exotica, Millsp. (Murraea exotica, Linn.). Orange Jessamine. A small tree with pale bark, twigs and petioles usually puberulous: lvs. pinnate; lfts. usually 5-9, ovate, obtuse or obtusely acuminate, often emarginate, dark green above, paler below: fls. fragrant, campanulate, 5-parted; petals white; stamens 10, free; ovary 2-celled, style deciduous: fr. subglobose, 3/5-½in. long, pointed, red. Ill. Beddome, Outlines Bot., pl. vii., Wight, Ic., pl. Ind. I, pL 96.— The orange jessamine is commonly grown in greenhouses on account of its abundant and very fragrant fls. These are often to be seen along with the mature red fr., which makes a striking contrast with the panicles of white fls. and delicate foliage. The root-growth of this species is remarkably vigorous under greenhouse conditions. Lemons can be budded on it and; make a rapid growth. It is being tested as a stock for the common citrus fruits in situations in which a vigorous root-system is desired. Walter T.
