Specific Name and Character. 
Passirtora Mooreana ; glaberrima scandens cirrhifera, foliis 
brevissime petiolatis (petiolo grosse biglanduloso) 
cuneatis palmato-trifidis obscure serratis smubus glan- 
dulosis subtus stipulisque magnis ovato-acuminatis 
cordatis utrinque glaucis, pedunculis unifloris bracteis 
magnis ovatis serratis involucratis longitudine floris, 
corona filamentosa triplici exteriore petala equante. 
This handsome Passion-flower, along with many other 
rarities sent by Mr. T'weepie of Buenos Ayres from various 
and often very remote parts of the interior, has been most 
successfully cultivated by Mr. Dueatp Moore at the Royal 
Dublin Society’s Botanic Garden of Glasnevin. To him I 
wish to dedicate this new species of Passtrtora, which Mr. 
Moore observes will probably bear the open air as well as 
Passrriora cerulea, which its flowers a good deal resemble; 
but which has the advantage of being very fragrant. The 
nearest affinity, however, of this plant is with P. Tueuma- 
nensis (Bot. Mag. t. 3636), but the nearly sessile, very 
differently-shaped leaves and glands, and smaller flowers, 
besides other characters, abundantly distinguish it. bse
