Subject: [R] x-axis label for boxplot

I am trying to produce three boxplots and label the x axis values:
xvalues, yvalues, zvalues.

My code is below. The labels are not below the three boxplots. If you could 
show me how to get the
labels below the columns I would be appreciative.

jdata<-data.frame(x = 
rnorm(100),y=rnorm(100,1),z=rnorm(100,-1),y=runif(100))

boxplot(jdata[,"x"],jdata[,"y"],jdata[,"z"],xlab=c("x 
values","yvalues","zvalues"))
