A species founded by Linnzeus solely on the figure and 
description in the place we quote from the work of Plumier; 
he had no sample in his Herbarium. It comes near to Pas- 
SIFLORA minima (see vol. 2. fol. 144. of this Register) and to 
hirsuta; differing from both chiefly by the leaves not being 
divided into lobes. The flowers are somewhat larger in 
pallida; the fruit, according to Plumier, the same in all 
three; and consists of a small globular violet-coloured 
berry about the size of a Sloe.
