PASSIFLORA alata foliis indivifis cordatis integerrimis,

This fpecies of Paffion-flower is one of thofe which have 
been introduced into the Englifh gardens fince the time of 
Miller; if it does not equal the ccerulea in elegance, it excels 
it in magnificence, in brilliancy of colour, and in fragrance, 
the bloffoms being highly odoriferous : as yet, it is by no 
means fo general in this country, as its extraordinary beauty 
merits, we have feen it flower this year, both Summer and 
Autumn, in great perfc&ion in the ftove of our very worthy 
friend James Vere, Efq. Kenfington-Gore ; at the Phyfic 
Garden, Chelfea; and at Mr. Malcolm's, Kennington ; at 
Chelfea, in particular, it afforded the richeft affemblage of 
foliage and flowers we ever faw. 
It appears to the greateft advantage, when trained up an 
upright pole, nearly to the height of the back of the ftove, 
and then fuffered to run along horizontally. 
By fome it has been confidered as a variety only of the 
Pajfiflora quadranguiaris % others, with whom we agree in opinion, 
have no doubt of its being a very diftinft fpecies ; it differs 
from the quadrangular is , in having leaves more perfeftly heart- 
fhaped, and lefs veiny ; in having four glands on the foot- 
ftalks of the leaves, inftead of fix ; and in not producing 
fruit with us, which the quadrangularis has been known fre- 
quently to do. 
The Nurferymen report, that this fpecies was firft raifed 
in this country, by a gentleman in Hertfordfhire, from 
Weft- India feeds. 
The ufual mode of propagating it here, is by cuttings.
