NEW AND RARE STOYE PLANTS. 
PASSIFLORA GLAUCA. 
This extremely interesting plant was found near the edge of the Great Guayaquilian Plain, 
between Loxa and Santa Fe de Bogota. The flowers are similar to thoso of an ordinary Passion 
Flower ; the filamentous portion white, the oentre orange. The fruit is oval, about the size of a 
pigeon’s egg, of a very pale yellow colour, but covered, from its earliest stage, with a beautiful 
glaucous bloom. This plant can be cultivated in an ordinary stove, and, being found at au elevation 
of upwards of G,000 feet above tho sea, it will doubtless also thrive well in a warm greenhouse,
