Cirrhi axillary, long, simple. Peduncle axillary, Solitary, 
bearing a single large flower. Involucre of three large, 
ovato-acuminate, serrated, green leaflets, a little distant from 
the flower. Leaflets of the calyx oblong, the five inner 
subpetaloid, the five outer more herbaceous, with a soft 
mucro at the point. Corona as long as the calyx, curved 
upwards, its rays white, fasciated or annulated with reddish- 
purple, almost blue at the extremity. The base of the 
nectary within is white, and covered with small fleshy tu- 
bercles. Anthers large, oblong, flat, yellow-green at the 
back. Germen oval, green, smooth, on a long pedicel. 
Styles three, spreading, tipped with the club-shaped stigmas. 
The fruit I have not seen, but M. Bonrtanp has stated it 
to be of the size and shape of an orange, good to eat, and 
of an agreeable flavor. 
This fine Passion Flower recommends itself, not only by 
the beauty and delicacy of its blossom, but by the size and 
rich green of the foliage. It is a native of Peru, and was 
first discovered by Domaey. It flowered in the Glascow 
Botanic Garden, in September and October, 1829 ; that 
establishment being indebted for plants to the sister insti- 
tution at Edinburgh, and to the Lord Justice Cierk for 
seeds, of this hitherto little-known Passion Flower.
