218. Flowers highly odoriferous ; calycine lobes white within ; 
petals of the same shape, red within, and white outside. Crown 
5-fold; outer rays in a double row, longer than the petals, 
round, white, and variegated with violet. ‘The common grana- 
dilla or gronadilla vine bears large fruit, of an oblong shape, 
about 6 inches in diameter, and 15 inches in circumference. It 
is externally of a greenish yellow, when ripe soft and leathery 
to the touch, and quite smooth ; the rind is very thick, and con- 
tains a succulent pulp of a purple colour, which is the edible 
part. Wine and sugar are commonly added to it. The flavour 
is sweet and slightly acid, and is very grateful to the taste, and 
cooling in a hot climate. It has been successfully cultivated for 
its fruit in a few places in this country.

Cultivation of Granadilla (P. quadrangularis). Mr. Mitche- 
son keeps a plant in a box 18 inches square, fixed on a level 
with the curb in one corner of a tan-pit. The sides of the box 
are perforated, to admit the roots to run among the tan, and the 
shoots are trained like vines, under the rafters. In autumn the 
shoots are pruned back to within two or three eyes of the 
old wood; and in March following, or just before the plant 
begins to break, it is taken out of the box, the root and ball 
reduced, and repotted in fresh compost. Abundance of water 
in the flowering season enables the plant to set its fruit without 
artificial impregnation. A strong plant will produce 40 fruits in 
a season in regular succession, from the end of June till Christ- 
mas. Half that number will grow to a larger size. Gard. mag.

vated in the same way for their fruit.
