fmooth, lobes lanceolate, quite entire, the middle one 
more produced; petioles biglandular 3 item even, Tuber¬ 
ous at bottom. Stem twining, Ample, becoming corky 
.at the bafe with age, round, fmooth. Flowers fmall, whi- 
tifh. It is nearly allied to P. fuberofa; but differs in the 
lobes of the leaves being narrow and divaricated : the ftem 
.herbaceous, becoming like cork only w'hen old ; and the 
flowers fmaller. 
Mr. Sowerby remarks, (Linn. Tranf. ii.) that, though 
this has its name from its fmallnefs, there are others 
nearly if not quite as fmall, and not well diftinguilhed ; 
that feveral of them have no involucre, though there is 
a joint on the peduncle, or, as he has it, between the 
peduncle and the pedicel; and that they have but five 
petals, confequently nothing that ferves as a calyx. He 
thus defcribes the flower of this fpecies: peduncle cylin¬ 
drical ; pedicel alfo cylindrical, curved a little, thickeft 
at the flat bafe of the flower; petals lanceolate, turned 
back ; principal rays cylindrical, fpreading, curved back; 
imperfect rays moftly clubbed, fometimes bifid; opercu¬ 
lum plaited and fringed at the edge. Neftary as in lu- 
nata, except that at the ridge of the protuberating bank 
are fome fmall regular roundifli glands, or imperfect rays. 
Native of Curafiao, and Jamaica. Introduced in 1790 by 
Mr. Bentick. It flowers in July. 
34. Paffifiora heterophylla, or narrow-leaved paflion- 
flower : leaves undivided, linear-oblong, and three-lobed, 
finooth, quite entire; petioles biglandular. Native of 
the Weft Indies. Introduced about 1773. It flowers 
from June to.September. 
35. Paffifiora fuberofa, or cork-barked paffion-flower : 
leaves fub-peltate ; lobes ovate-entire; petioles biglan¬ 
dular; ftem fuberofe. This rifes with a weak ftalk to 
the height of twenty feet : as the ftalks grow old, they 
have a thick fungous bark like that of the cork-tree, 
which cracks and lplits ; the fmaller branches are covered 
with a fmooth bark. Leaves fmooth, on very fhort pe¬ 
tioles : the middle lobe is much longer than the lateral 
ones, fo that the whole leaf is halbert-fhaped. The 
flowers are fmall, of a greenifh-yellow colour. Fruit 
egg-fhaped, dark purple when ripe. Native of the Weft 
Indies. Cultivated in 1759 by Mr. Miller. It flowers 
from June to September. 
36. Paffifiora peltata, or peltate fpreading-lobed paffion- 
flower: leaves peltate, fmooth, three-ribbed, with three 
deep, equal, oblong, fpreading lobes; footllalks with two 
glands ; flowers folitary, without petals. Found in hedges 
in the Antilles, according to Plunder; few other bota- 
nifts have feen it. The pekate infertion of the footftalks, 
and the large deeply three-lobed leaves, mark this fpe¬ 
cies. Its flowers are twice the fize of P. fuberofa, with 
longer and ftraighter rays. Fruit much the fame. 
37. Paffifiora hederacea, or peltate ivy paffion-flower: 
leaves peltate, ovate, fmooth, five-ribbed, three-lobed ; 
footftalks with two glands; flowers folitary, without pe¬ 
tals. From the fame country as the laft, where Plunder 
only appears to have feen it. The leaves are peltate and 
five-ribbed, exadlly as in our clypeata, N° 21. but of a 
very different outline, rounded at the bafe, and termina¬ 
ting in three rather fpreading but not deep lobes: their 
fize and appearance, except having but three lobes, is like 
our broadeft variety of Hedera helix, called Irifli ivy. 
Flowers like the preceding. 
38. Paffifiora viridiflora, or tubular-green paffion-flower: 
leaves peltate, fmooth, with three deep obovate lobes; 
tube of the calyx as long as its fegments; petals and 
braifes wanting. Gathered by Louis Nee, near Acapul¬ 
co, flowering in February. The leaves have feven radia¬ 
ting ribs, and three deep lobes, of which the middle one 
efpecially is greatly contracted at the bafe ; each two or 
three inches long. A curious fpecies, known only from 
the work of Cavanilles. 
39. Paffifiora reflexa, or reflexed paffion-flower: leaves 
peltate, fmooth, with three deep, fpreading, obtufe, 
lobes; their finufes and ftalks glandular j tube of the ca-

lyx as long as its fegments; braCtes ovate, veiny. Ga¬ 
thered by Louis Nee near Panama. About the fize of 
the preceding. 
40. Paffifiora holofericea, or filky-leaved paffion-flower: 
leaves ovate, three-lobed, downy on both furfaces, with 
a recurved tooth on each fide at the bafe. The ftalks rife 
twenty feet high, dividing into many flender branches, 
covered with a foft hairy down. Leaves fhaped like the 
point of a halbert, three inches long, and an inch and'ahalf 
wide at the bafe, light green, foft and filky to the touch, 
Handing obliquely to the footftalks. Flowers an inch 
and a half broad ; petals white ; rays purple, with a mix¬ 
ture of yellow. Fruit fmall, roundifli, yellow' when ripe. 
Difcovered by Dr. Houftoun, growing naturally at Vera 
Cruz; and therefore was introduced before 1733, in 
which year he died. It flow'ers moft part of the 
futnmer. 
41. Paffifiora hirfuta, or hairy paffion-flower: leaves 
villofe, the lower fmooth above; lobes oblong, quite en¬ 
tire, the middle one more produced ; petioles biglandular. 
Native of the Weft Indies. Introduced in 1778, by Mr. 
Gilbert Alexander: it flowers in September. 
42. Paffifiora fcetida, or flunking paffion-flower : leaves 
cordate, hairy ; involucres capillary-multifid. The ftalks 
rife five or fix feet high, when fupported ; they are chan¬ 
nelled and hairy. The middle lobe of the leaf is three 
inches long, and one and a half broad ; the two fide- 
lobes are fhort, but broad ; they are covered with fhort 
brown hairs. Flowers on ftrong hairy peduncles, two 
inches long ; calyx compofed of flender hairy filaments, 
umought like a net, longer than the petals, and turning 
up round them ; they are white, and-of fhort duration. 
Fruit roundifli-ovate, alfcut the fize of a golden pippin, 
of a yellowifli-green colour, inclofed in the netted calyx. 
The whole plant has a difagreeable fcent when touched, 
grows naturally in moft of the iflands of the Weft In¬ 
dies, where the Britilh inhabitants call it love in a mijl , 
which is one vulgar name of Nigella damafcena, that it 
refembles in the involucre. It was cultivated by Mr. 
Miller in 1731 ; and flowers in July and Auguft. 
43. Paffifiora ciliata, or ciliatecj paffion-flower : leaves 
fmooth, ciliate-ferrate; the middle one very long; pe¬ 
tioles not glandular. Native of Jamaica. Cultivated in 
1783, by Mrs. Norman. Tt runs to a great height, and 
has dark-green gloffy leaves; the involucrum is com¬ 
pofed of three leaves divided into capillary fegments, eacii 
terminating in a vifcid globule : the pillar fupporting the 
germen is bright purple, with'darker fpots : the petals are 
greenifli on the outfide and red within. The crown con- 
fifts of four rows of radii, which are varied with white 
and purple. The leaves of this fpecies vary occasionally ; 
and Mr. Curtis fufpedfs it to be a variety of P. fcetida. 
44. Paffifiora ferrulata, or finely-ferrated paffion-flower: 
leaves three-lobed, very minutely ferrated ; the middle 
lobe longeft; footftalks with two glands; braftes dif- 
tinft, entire. Gathered by Jacquin at Carthagena: he 
compares it with incarnata, N° 45. from which he fays 
it is very certainly diftinguifhed by the leaves not being 
cut aw'ay clofe to the fide-ribs at the bafe, and by the mi- 
nutenefs of their ferratures. The flowers are variegated 
with purple and white, delightfully fragrant, two inches 
and a half wide. 
45. Paffifiora incarnata, rofe-coloured paffion-flower, 
ormaycock: leaves ferrate, equal; petioles biglandular. 
Root perennial. Stalks annual, flender, riling four or 
five feet high. At each joint one leaf, on a fhort foot- 
ftalk, having moftly three oblong lobes, but the two fide 
ones are fometimes divided part of their length into two 
narrow fegments, and thus becoming five-lobed; they are 
thin, of a light green, and flightly ferrate. The flowers 
are produced from the joints of the ftalk, at the foot¬ 
ftalks of the leaves, on long flender peduncles, in fuccef- 
fion as the ftalks advance in height during the fummer- 
months: calycine leaflets oblong, blunt, pale green ; pe¬ 
tals white, with a double circle of purple rays, the rays
