ORDER LXIX.—PASSIFLOREJE. Juss. 
Sepals 5 (rarely 4), foliaceous, united below into a short or elongated 
tube, the sides and throat of which are lined with a corona composed of 
filamentous or annular processes. Petals perigynous, inserted between 
the corona and the calyx-segments, with which last they are as nu- 
merous and alternate, usually almost homogeneous with and shorter 
than them, very rarely larger than them and with the usual appearance 
of petals, sometimes wanting. Stamens 5 (very rarely indefinite), mo- 
nadelphous, usually with processes from the torus between them and 
the petals: anthers inserted by their base, 2-celled, bursting longitu- 
dinally on the inner side (but, from their being often reflexed, iri 
rently opening outwardly). Ovarium free, 1-celled: ovules indefinite, 
attached to 3 (or very rarely 4) parietal placentz : styles 3 (or very 
rarely 4), or none. Fruit naked or surrounded by the calyx, 1-celled, 
usually 3-valved, sometimes dehiscent and loculicide, sometimes fleshy 
and indehiscent. Seeds indefinite, compressed, with an arillus or stro- 
phida: testa brittle, sculptured. Embryo straight, in the centre of a 
thin fleshy albumen: radicle pointing to the hilum.
