Some years ago the Rev B. Scortechini gave me a small piece of this Jasmine and at the time we both considered it a new species but the specimen did not admit of fully describing the plant but while at Nerang² the other day I found it covering the bushes so brought specimen home but in my hurry forgot fruit but can get it by sending to a friend in fact the fruit must be small or I should have seen it — As I expect our friend Scortechini sent it to you at the time I now enclose a specimen with also a copy of the description I intend to publish in my Supplement to the Synopsis³

Ever your much indebted
