of the lower circle, Iongeft. TH^j flowers have an agree¬ 
able fcent, but are of (hort durarion, opening in the 
morning, and fading away in the evening. Fruit as large 
as a middling apple, changing to a pale orange-colour 
when ripe; inclofing many oblong rough feeds, lying in 
a fvveetidi pulp. It grows naturally in Virginia and other 
parts of North America, and was the firft known in Eu¬ 
rope of all the fpecies, but was not very common in the 
Englifh gardens till of late years. It was Cultivated here 
in 1629, according to Parkinfon, who has given a good 
figure and defcription of it, with a copy of the Jefuit’s 
fophifticated figure to contraft with his own, and a co¬ 
pious abufe of their attempts to deceive mankind. 
46. Pafliflora aurantia, orNorfolk-ifland paflion-flower: 
leaves fmooth, dotted beneath, with three fpreading 
blnntifh lobes; rounded at the bafe; calyx fomewhat 
tubular, longer than the petals ; neflary tubular, abrupt, 
lobed, furrounded with upright rays'. Native of New 
Caledonia and of Norfolk iftand. It flowers copioufly 
in a Hove in fumtner, requiring a light dry foil. The 
leaves are fometimes (lightly five-lobed. Flowers orange, 
the tube of their neflary green, longer than the purple 
upright rays which furround it. The nedtary is very 
peculiar, being, like the whole flower, fhaped much as 
in P. murucuja, N° 18, but neverthelefs accompanied 
with rays ; its orifice moreover is lobed or jagged. 
47. Pafliflora cuneifolia, or wedge-leaved paflion-flower: 
leaves deeply three-lobed, ferrated, acute ; three-ribbed, 
with two glands, at the bafe ; bradies diftindf, elliptical, 
entire; calyx flat; rays not half fo long as the petals. 
Native of America. Seen by Cavanilles in Thouin’s Her¬ 
barium. The fpecific charadters diftinguifh it from in- 
carnata, which it greatly refembles. 
48. Pafliflora fanguinea, or blood-coloured paflion- 
flower : leaves deeply three-lobed, ferrated, acute, with¬ 
out glands; bradtes diftindf, lanceolate, with glandular 
teeth ; calyx downy, its tube half as long as the fegments; 
rays half the length of the petals ; ftamens linear, flat. 
Gathered by Smeathman in the Weft Indies. A very 
fine fpecies. The branches, andall the ftalks, are downy; 
tendrils fmooth. Flowers near three inches broad 5 as 
far as can be judged from the dried fpecimen, they ap¬ 
pear of a rich deep red. 
49. Pafliflora peduncularis, or long-ftalked paflion- 
flower: leaves with three rounded ferrated lobes ; brac- 
tes combined, tubular, downy ; calyx downy, its tube 
nearly equal to the fegments ; rays very minute ; ftem 
fquare. Gathered by Louis Nee, in feveral places in 
Peru, flowering in March. The fquare ftem, which is 
flightly downy, and the bradies united into an ovate, ob- 
tufe, llightly notched, and three-cleft, tube, full half as 
long as the tube of the calyx, are charadferiftic of this 
fpecies, which is one-of Juffieu’s genus Tujconia, like the 
four following. The leaves of this are rather broader 
than long, their lobes broad and rounded, equally fer¬ 
rated ; glaucous, and in fome degtee downy, at the back. 
Flower-ftalks near four inches long, being twice the 
length of the leaves. Flowers rofe-coloured, large and 
liandfome, externally downy; their petals elliptical, an 
inch long, a little fhorter than the calyx. Fruit globofe, 
rather downy, one inch and a half in diameter. 
50. Pafliflora trifoliata, or three-leaved paflion-flower : 
leaves ternate, elliptical, downy, entire; bradies diftindf, 
toothed ; tube of the calyx as long as the fegments, tu¬ 
mid at the bafe ; rays very minute. Native of Peru and 
Chili, where it was found by Louis Nee, flowering in 
March and April. Remarkable for its truly ternate 
leaves. Flowers rofe-coloured, large and liandfome, like 
thedaft, but with a longer calyx-tube, whofe bafe is in¬ 
flated and umbilicated. 
51. Pafliflora pennipes, or wing-footed paflion-flower : 
leaves three-lobed, ferrated, acute; woo)ly beneath ; 
bradies diftindf, ferrated ; tube of the calyx as long as 
the fegments; rays half as long as the petals; ftipttles 
FLORA. . 751 
deeply pinnatifid. Found by Louis Nee in various parts 
of Chili, from whence alfo we have a fpecimen, gathered 
by Mr. Menzies. The leaves are three-cleft more than 
half way, reticulated, ferrated, two or three inches long ; 
very fmooth, and bright green above ; their backs, like 
the branches and ftalks, clothed with denfe white woolly 
pubefcence. Flowers much larger than in the laft, of a 
pale rofe-colour, very finely downy externally, as is alfo 
the germen. 
52. Pafliflora tomentofa, or downy long-tubed paflion- 
flower : leaves three-lobed, ferrated; downy on both 
Tides; bradtes combined, tubular; tube of the calyx 
thrice as long as the fegments. Gathered long ago, by 
Jofeph de Juflieu, in Peru. His fpecimens were feen in 
his celebrated nephew’s herbarium at Paris, by Lamarck, 
and Cavanilles, from whofe publication only our know¬ 
ledge concerning this magnificent plant is derived. The 
refpedtive proportions of the flower and its minute rays 
agree with our third fpecies; but the whole flower ap¬ 
pears to be larger. The leaves have three broad mode¬ 
rately deep lobes, and, like the reft of the plant, are 
clothed with fine fhort down. The flower expands three 
inches, and is (aid to be rofe-coloured ; its tube is five 
inches long. Fruit ovate-oblong, foft, full of yellow eat¬ 
able pulp. The Peruvians know this plant by the name 
of tacj'o. 
53. Pafliflora mixta, or fmooth-leaved long-tubed paf- 
fion-flower: leaves with three or five lobes, ferrated, 
acute ; fmooth on both fides ; bradtes combined, tubular ; 
tube of the calyx thrice as long as the fegments. Sent by 
Mutis from New Granada to Linnaeus, along with draw¬ 
ings, in Indian ink, of this and our third fpecies. The 
prefent differs from the laft in having fmooth more-deep- 
ly-lobed leaves, whofe fide-lobes are occafionally flightly 
divided ; but that fuch a circurnftance is accidental, may 
be prefumed, not only from the coincidence of every 
other part, but becaufe there are always five ribs more 
or lefs apparent. The footftalks bear about fix glands, 
and are rather downy; the flower-ftalks, tubular bradies, 
and efpecialiy the outfide of the calyx, are finely and 
denfely pubefcent. Flowers rofe-coloured or purplifh, 
a little fmallerthan thofeof P. tomentofa, with much the 
fame fort of nedfary. Fruit obovate, with a flight longi¬ 
tudinal furrow. 
Dr. Smith colledfs from this fpecies and P. adulterine, 
that the flower of pafliflora is ten-petalied ; and that what 
Linnaeus calls the involucre is the calyx. Juflieu, on the 
contrary, calls the whole the calyx, and afterts the Pafli- 
flora to have no corolla. In nioft of the fpecies the in¬ 
volucre cannot properly be regarded as a perianth, and 
even in this fpecies it is permanent, and in the fruiting 
ltste at a confiderable diltance from the fruit. Nothing 
could be greater acquifitions to our confervatories than 
thefe tubular paftion-flowers, whofe feeds the Spaniards 
furely might obtain with great eafe, and which would 
probably prove almolt hardy in our climate, like the ele¬ 
gant Fuchlia, Cobaea, and other late diicoveries, from 
the fame country. 
54. Pafliflora racemofa, or branched paflion-flower: 
leaves fubpeltate, emarginated at the bafe, fmooth, three- 
lobed, the lobes ovate-acute, very entire, the middle one 
Iongeft ; petioles four-glanduled ; flowers terminal, ra- 
cemed. Root perannial; ftem thick, obconic, inodo¬ 
rous ; the whole plant fmooth. Leaves alternate, from 
two to four inches apart, broad, flefhy, fmooth on both 
fides. Flowers very large and beautiful, but without 
fmell. Inhabits fliady woods about the city of Rio Ja¬ 
neiro and ellewhere in Brafil; where it flowers in No¬ 
vember and December. Difcovered by Mr. Woodford, 
who carried it to Lifbon, and communicated it to F. A. 
Brotero, profefibr of botany in the univerfity of Coim¬ 
bra ; who has defcribed it very minutely in the Linn.
