History, Use, Propagation, Culture, 
1456. Melochia. According to Forskahl, it is an alteration of the Arabic name melochieh, or melokhieh. 
Light rich soil suits all the species, and they strike readily in moist heat. 
1457. Melhania. A plant which grows upon Mount Melham, in Arabia. Pretty plants, which grow in sandy 
loam, and root in sand under cover. Sweet observes, that " they are very apt to become covered with insects." 
14.58. Ochroma. From uxeo;, yellow, the flowers being of that color, according to Schreber. O. Lagopus is 
a very l.irge tree, with divaricating branches, and leaves more than a foot long. The wood is white, tender, 
and so light, that it is used instead of corks to nets. The capsules contain a very soft fine rufous down, in 
which the seeds are involved, and which down is said to be used in the manufacture of English beavers, 
{Desportes Plantes de S. Domingue, iii. 16.) 
1459. Pass/flora. This genus has been so named, on account of its being supposed to represent, in the 
appendages of its flower, the passion of Jesus Christ. A beautiful genus of climbers, partly herbaceous, but 
chiefly suHrutescent or woody; and all of them exotics and very ornamental. Some species are odoriferous ; 
others bear edible fruits, fleshy juicy berries of considerable size, though not rich in flavor. Of late, a number 
of hybrid sorts have been raised, some of which, as P. c£eruleo-racemosa, are considered more beautiful than 
almost any of the natural species. 
P. maliformis, the sweet calabash of the West Indies, produces large flowers, red, white, and blue, but of 
short duration. They are succeeded by fruit, roundish, the size of a large apple, yellow when ripe, having a 
thicker rind than any of the other sorts ; inclosing a sweetish pulp, in which are lodged many oblong black 
seeds, of a brownish color, a little rough to the touch. It grows naturally in the West Indies, where the 
inhabitants call it Granadilla. The fruit is served up there in desserts. It has borne fruit in the garden of the 
Bishop of Durham in Oxfordshire, and at Vere's, Kensington Gore. {Hort. Trans, iii. 101.) 
P. quadrangularis, the Granadilla vine of the French, has leaves five or six inches long, and luxuriant four-
