PASSIFLORA LUNATA. 
Class, Order. 
MONADELPHIA PENTANDRIA. 
This plant frequently grows, if supported, 
to the height of fifteen or twenty feet: the 
flowers are usually produced in the month of 
June; they open early in the morning, are 
very fragrant, and last only a single day. It 
is a native of the West Indies, and has been 
long cultivated in our stoves. It may be 
kept very well in a pot; but thrives far bet- 
ter when planted out in a border in the 
hot-house. As it grows freely, it becomes 
a good plant for covering the back wall, or 
running up a column. It may be readily 
increased by cuttings, and should have a rich 
loamy soil.
