very generally confounded with punctata, until the point 

 was accurately settled by Sir James E. Smith, by whom the 

 species has been established, and described in the above- 

 cited work, where we find the following observation : " The 

 " description of Passiplora punctata (not the specific cha- 

 '* racter) in Linnseus's Systema Vegetabilium belongs to this 

 " plant, as well as the observation in his Mantissa, p. 492; 

 *' but the latter is so obscure and erroneous, that it neither 

 " agrees with the plant, nor with the original manuscript 

 " from which it was printed." 



" PAssiFiiORA pynctata is known by the figure and de- 

 " scription of Feuill€, after- whom Linnieus described it, 

 " nor did he or myself ever see a specimen of that species. 

 " The Abb6 Cavanilles htis given a figure of it from a plant 

 " which flowered in the Royal Garden at Paris." 



A high climbing evergreen shrub ; with divaricately ob- 

 txisely two-lobed 3-nerved veiny pea-green leaves, with 

 small yellowish glandular oozing dots on the under side, 

 which are more conspicuous, numerous, and regularly ar- 

 ranged in the leaves next the flowers. Petioles slightly 

 downy, glandless. Involucre 3 small bractes. Flowers twin, 

 greenish white, with a yellow crown of two ranks. 



Drawn at the nureery of Messrs. Colvill, in the King's 

 Road, Chelsea. 



The species appeai-s to come the nearest to Passiflora 

 holosericea (published in the 59th article of this work) of 

 any other we are acquainted with. *
