Passi flora sp. (Passlf loraceae ) , 46785. Granadita. 
From Mexico. Seeds collected by Mr. Wilson Popenoe and 
presented through Dr. H. J. Webber, Director, Citrus 
Experiment Station, University of California. "From 
Puerto Mexico, Vera Cruz; collected September 9, 1918. 
A passion vine which grows upon the beach in the vi- 
cinity of Puerto Mexico. Its fruits are unusually 
handsome and are sold in the market. They are produced 
upon slender stems about 4 inches long, and are round, 
an inch in diameter or slightly larger, and brilliant 
crimson-scarlet in color. Of this genus, they are by 
far the showiest fruits that I have seen. The outer 
covering of the fruit Is not hard; the seeds are sur- 
rounded by white, translucent pulp of slightly acid 
flavor. In quality this species is inferior to P. ligularis 
in that the flavor is not so aromatic and spicy. It 
would be worth cultivating, however, if only for the 
beauty of its fruits, and it should be an excellent 
species to cross with some of the larger-fruited passi- 
floras." (Popenoe.)
