but entirely = eae the gynophore. Under ordinary circum- 
stances, in allied genera, the stamens are ogynous and the 
ovary seaaile in the early stages, but as development goes on the 
stipes of the ovary lengthens into the gynophore, and the stamens 
being undetached from it are upraised with it. In the present 
po they are wholly ine from the SyPaPyee- Thus this genus, 
o far as the arrangement of its stamens goes, presents a con- 
dition intermediate between that of Passiflora multiflora, in which 
the stamens are hypogynous and the ovary sessile, and that of 
most Passifloras wherein the ovary is raised on a long stalk to 
which the stamens are attached.
