VI. Additional Account of the New Hybrid Passifloras, 

 described in a former Communication* to the Horticultural 

 Society. By Joseph Sabine, Esq. F. R. S. fyc. Secretary. 



Read February 6, 1822. 



W hen I laid before the Horticultural Society last autumn 

 my account of the Hybrid between Passiflora racemosa and 

 Passiflora ccerulea, raised by Mr. Milne, at Fulham, I 

 mentioned that, besides the single plant which had then 

 blossomed, there were six others, derived from the same 

 origin, one only of which seemed to correspond exactly with 

 the plant then described, and that the five others would 

 probably differ from it. This opinion has been found to be 

 nearly correct ; all the seven plants having been exposed to 

 similar treatment in one of the stoves at the Fulham nursery, 

 have blossomed this season, and the following statement is 

 t he result of an examination of the entire collection. 



The plant described last year, and one other, are exactly 

 similar ; a third is like them in foliage and blossom, but is 

 of more vigorous growth, and as it is not desirable to pre- 

 serve such unimportant differences, it is intended to destroy 

 the first and second plants, and to propagate from the third 

 alone ; this having its leaves generally with the appearance 

 of being five lobed, will be called Passiflora cceruleo-racemosa 

 quinquelobata, or Milne s flve-lobed Hybrid Passion-flower.
