very generally confounded with punctata, until the point 
was accurately settled by Sir James E. Smith, by whom the 
species has been established, and described in the above- 
cited work, where we find the following observation: “The 
“ description of Passtrtors punctata (not the specific cha- 
* racter) in Linnzeus’s Systema Vegetabilium belongs to this 
* plant, as well as the observation in his Mantissa, p. 492; 
* but the latter is so obscure and erroneous, that it neither 
“ agrees with the plant, nor with the original manuscript 
* from which it was printed.” 
“ PassIFLORA punctata is known by the figure and de- 
“scription of Feuillé, after whom Linnzus described it, 
“nor did he or myself ever see a specimen of that species. 
« The Abbé Cavanilles has given a figure of it from a plant 
“ which flowered in the Royal Garden at Paris.” 
A high climbing evergreen shrub; with divaricately ob- 
tusely two-lobed 3-nerved veiny pea-green leaves, with 
small yellowish glandular oozing dots on the under side, 
which are more conspicuous, numerous, and regularly ar- 
ranged in the leaves next the flowers. Petioles slightly 
downy, glandless. Involucre 3 small bractes. Flowers twin, 
greenish white, with a yellow crown of two ranks. 
Drawn at the nursery of Messrs. Colvill, in the King’s 
Road, Chelsea. 
The species appears to come the nearest to PasstrLora 
holosericea (published in the 59th article of this work) of 
any other we are acquainted with. °
