* The fruit of the passion flower is not yet discovered to be of any use, except 
the passiflora laurifolia (called water lemon), which Mr. Miller says is commonly- 
used in fever, &c. as a cooler.—The passiflora ccerulea, from Brazil, is the hardiest, 
and grows the highest of any of them, in which the germen, when the flower de¬ 
cays, swells to a large oval fruit, the size of a moderate plum.—The plants are all 
climbers, and the flowers in general continue but one day. 
f Eelicteris (screw-tree) called so because the capsules are twisted together like 
a screw.
