Passkrina, I-inn. From passer, a. sparrow; in allu- 
sion to the beaked seeds. Linn. 8, Or. 1, Nat. Or. 
Thymelacece. 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. Synonymes : 1. Stel-

PAssrFLORA, Linn. From passio, passion, and Jlos, a 
flower ; in allusion to the filamentous appendages or 
rays bearing a resemblance to the emblems of the 
passion of Christ. Linn. 16, Or. 2, Nat. Or. Passi- 
Jloracece. The species of this interesting and elegant 
genus are admirably adapted for stove and green- 
house climbers, being of easy culture, free growers, 
and if allowed plenty of room, producing abundance 
of beautiful flowers ; many of the kinds produce fruit 
freely, from which, through impregnation, several 
fine hybrids have been raised. The fruit of some, 
as P. edulis, laurifolia, and P. quadrangularis, or 
Granadilla, are eaten ; the succulent pulp which 
surrounds the seeds is found to be fra^ant, cooling, 
and pleasant, agreeably acid, and admirably adapted 
for allaying thirst in hot climates. P. edulis and 
P. laurifolia will fruit freely in the plant stove. 
The quadrangularis bears fruits resembling a large 
lime, and to cause it to produce them in abundance, 
should be treated as follows : — Plant it in a large 
box, or in a partitioned -off corner of a stove, or tan- 
pit ; if in the latter, holes may be bored in the sides 
to admit the egress of the roots into the tan. The 
shoots should be trained parallel to the glass as 
vines, and treated similar to melons, that is, the 
most vigorous shoots removed, 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 
sheltered situations. Synonymes ; 1. P. heterophylla.
