- n. A genus of American apocynaceous plants of the tribe Echitideœ and the subtribe Euechitideœ. The flowers grow in simple racemes, and have a funnel-shaped corolla, a calyx with five scales or an indefinite number of glands, and a disk which is five-parted or has five scales. They are tall climbing shrubs, with opposite feather-veined leaves, and simple racemes of yellow, white, or rarely violet flowers, which are usually large and showy. About 30 species have been described, from Mexico, the West Indies, and tropical America. M. suaveolens, known as the Chili jasmine, is remarkable for its very fragrant snowy-white flowers, and is common in cultivation.
