The sample for the drawing came irom Mr. Gowen ; and 

 had been taken from a plant in the collection at HigbefercL 

 in Hampshire ; raised from seed gathered in the interior of 

 New Holland, by Mr. Cunningham. We have called the 

 species after the &mlly name of the possessor and introducer 

 of the plant. 



Comes near to Passifloba adiani^oUa, figured in the 

 second volume of this work, in respect to the flower and 

 general habit of the shrub ; but differs in the«bape of the 

 foliage. It has the same remarkable and somewhat ano- 

 malous crown and operculum, the same keeled segments 

 of the calyx, the same tall straight pistillum, but a 

 shorter urceolus than adianHfolia. Mr. Gowen says the 

 plant grows and flowers freely, and is all but hardy. An 

 excellent subject for the conservatory. Now first appear- 

 ing in Our collections.
