der-lhrubby growth, garni(hed, in fummer, with trifoliate 
leaves, formed of fpear-lhape, and linear and roundilh 
lobes; and large, papilionaceous, or butterfly-fhape, 
red and purple flowers, in panicled clufters, at the Tides 
and ends of the branches, in May and June; having, 
in each flower, a five-lobed, arched cup; a corolla pa¬ 
pilionaceous, of four irregular petals, confifling of a 
heart-lhape vexillum or ftandard, two oval wings, and 
a pointed carina below; ten diadelphous flamina, an 
oblong germen, with one ftyle, fucceeded by a turgid, 
rhomboide, bivalve pod, furnilhed with kidney-lhape 
feeds, by which the plants are generally propagated. 
Three Species, two of them hardy, the other fomewhat 
tender. 
t . Ononis fruticofa, Shrubby, Alpine Reft Harrow. 
A low, deciduous, under-fhrub, growing two or 
three feet high—the leaves ( middling ) ternate, or 
trifoliate, fpear-fhape, fawed; with Iheathed ftipula ; 
and lagre, red flowers, in panicle bunches, each pe¬ 
duncle moftly three-flowered; May or June, See .— 
Native of the Alps, {rlny common foil and filiation.) 
Variety- —White-flowered, Shrubby Reft Harrow. 
2 . Ononis trident at a, Tridented Flefhy-leaved Reft 
Harrow. 
A low, deciduous, under-lhrub, of two or three 
feet growth—the leaves [/mail, narrow) ternate, or 
trifoliate, fub-linear, flefhy, tridented; and terminal 
clufters of fmall, purple flowers, the peduncles moftly 
two-flowered.—Native of Spain. {IVarm, dry fitu- 
ation, or fome kept in pots, to have Jbelter from frof.) 
3. Ononis rot undifolia. Round-leaved, Alpine Reft 
Harrow. 
A low, Ihrubby plant—the leaves {middling) trifo¬ 
liate, roundilh; peduncles moftly three-flowered, with 
the calyx having three bradleal leaves.—Native of the 
Alps of Switzerland, {-dny common foil.) 
Of the above three fpecies, the firft and third forts 
are hardy to grow in any common foil and fttuation; 
the other, fomewhat tender, fliould have a warm fitu- 
ation, or fome alfo kept in pots, to have fhelter from 
froft; but of which three forts, the Ononis fruticofa 
is that which is the moll generally known and cultiva¬ 
ted in fhrufcberies, as a hardy, ornamental, flowering- 
ftirub; and may be obtained at moft of the nurferies, 
for planting, in autumn or fpring: allot them principal 
compartments, in aflemblage with other fhrubbv kinds. 
EG ETABLE SYSTEM 
generally placed fomewhat forward, confpicuous to 
view, and they will make a very pleafing variety in 
fummer. 
They are propagated by feed, fowed in the fpring< 
in a warm border, or bed of light earth; they will 
come up the fame year; and in fpring following may 
be tranfplanted into the nurfery, and fome in pot., 
fingly; and when advanced about twelve, to fifteen or 
eighteen inches, or two feet growth, are proper for 
the fhrubbery. 
Passiflora, PASSION-FLOWER, of tdie 
Clafs and Order 
T Gvnandria Pentandria, 
Females and Males joined. Fine Males, or Stamina. 
Or Plants with Hermaphrodite Flowers, having both 
the Male and Female Parts growing upon a Column , on 
Style, together ; and ha ve five Stamina, or Males. 
THE Passiflop.a comprehends moft curious, or¬ 
namental, flowering-climbers; one of which is a hardy*, 
climbing-lhrub, renowned for the beauty and curiofity 
of its elegant flowers, of Angular ftrudlure; is of trail- 
ing-climbing growth, with long-extending fiioots, ad¬ 
vancing feveral feet in length in one fummer; adorned 
with large, palmate-fingered leaves; and large, fpread- 
ing, many-parted, radiated flowers, blue and white, 
in the fame, of admirable form and Angularity; pro¬ 
duced on long foot-ftalks, fingly; having each a three- 
lobed involucrum, five-leaved calyx, five oblong, 
plane, fpreading petals, containing a fringed, triply- 
radiated, many-parted neftarium, formed of thready* 
circular, fpreading rays, and a triple coronet around a 
centrical, gynandrious piftil, or column, fupporting 
the male and female parts of generation, coniifting of 
five fpreading ftamina, and crowned by a roundilh ger¬ 
men, elevating three ftyles; and the germen grows a 
large, oval, flefhy, baccated fruit, with many oval 
feeds; the fruit not eatable, nor the feeds often ufed 
for fowing; the plants propagating freely by layers and 
cuttings. 
One hardy Species, viz. 
Passiflora carulea, Blue-radiated, or Common Paf- 
iion-Flower. 
A deciduous, Ihrubby climber, with long, {len¬ 
der, trailing-climbing ftalks, afeending, by fupport, 
twenty or thirty feet high, or more—the leaves {large, 
dark-green) palmated-fingered, of five long, fpear- 
Ihape, intire lobes, attended by twining cirrhi or claf- 
pers; and large, fpreading flowers, with a blue and 
purple, radiate neftarium ; July and Afiguft.—Native
