Brunfelsia jamaicensis, Griseb. (B. nitida var. jamaicensis, Hook.). An erect shrub or small tree, sparsely branched in the young state: sts. woody, with the Lvs. more or less tufted at the ends of each year's growths: Lvs. elliptic or lanceolate, up to 7 in. long, but often small and borne on short lateral tufted growths, glabrous or nearly so; petiole very short: fls. crowded on the apex of the current year's growth, solitary (occasionally in pairs) and axillary; pedicels ¼-½in. slender, erect or spreading; calyx erect, 1/3in. long, campanulate teeth spreading, acute; corolla erect, white, changing with age to primrose-yellow. W. Indies. B.M. 4287.— A very fine species for the warmer parts of the S., but a somewhat shy-flowering plant unless the growth is thoroughly well ripened up. There is a general resemblance between this species and B. nitida and B. undulata and it is possible that they are forms of one polymorphic species.
