 it well, and cuttings planted under a glass soon

PasserIna, Linn. From passer, a sparrow ; in 

 allusion to the beaked seeds. Linn. 8, Or. 1, 

 Nat. Or. Thynwlaceai. The plants of this 

 genus flourish well in a mixture of sandy peat 

 and loam ; and cuttings of the young wood 

 root freely in sand, under a glass. The seeds 

 of P. Annua may be sown in spring in the 

 open ground. Synonyme : 1, SUllera Passer-

Passiflora, Linn. From passio, passion, and 

 flos, a flower ; in allusion to the filamentous 

 appendages or rays bearing a resemblance to the 

 emblems of the passion of our Saviour. Linn. 

 16, Or. 2, Nat. Or. Passifloracece. The spe- 

 cies of this interesting and elegant genus are 

 admirably adapted for stove and greenhouse 

 climbers, being of easy culture, free growers, 

 and if allowed plenty of room, producing abun- 

 dance of beautiful flowers ; many of the kinds 

 produce fruit freely, from which, through im- 

 pregnation, several fine hybrids have been 

 raised. The fruits of some, as P. edulis, lauri- 

 fblia, and P. guadrangularis, or Granadttla, 

 are eaten ; the succulent pulp which surrounds 

 the seeds is found to be fragrant, cooling, and 

 pleasant, agreeably acid, and admirably adap- 

 ted for allaying thirst in hot climates. P. 

 ed&lis and P. laurifilia will fruit freely in the 

 plant stove. P. guadrangularis bears fruit 

 resembling a large lime, and to cause it to pro- 

 duce them in abundance, should be treated as 

 follows : — Plant it in a large box, or in a par- 

 titioned off corner of a stove, or tan-pit ; & in 

 the latter, holes may be bored in the sides to 

 admit the egress of the roots into the tan. 

 The shoots Bhould be trained parallel to 

 the glass, as vines, and treated similar to 

 melons, that is, the most vigorous shoots re- 

 moved, as they will be found not to bear so 

 freely as those of a moderate growth ; it will 

 generally be found necessary to set the fruit 

 by artificial impregnation, taking care to give 

 the plant abundance of water. All the species 

 will thrive well in a mixture of loam and peat, 

 and are easily increased by cuttings planted in 

 sand. The hardy kinds should be planted in
