lets say the data is in a five column matrix called data. Then call 

boxplot(split(t(data), i), ylim = c(min(data), max(data)), 
        names = c("name1","2","3","4","5"),
        ylab = "y label", xlab = "x label")

If the matrix has the column names then you can let the names
option equal; names = dimnames(data)[2]. This will pop the names in for you.

What do you mean by a common x axis?

Cheers
