The sample for the drawing came from Mr. Gowen; and 
had been taken from a plant in the collection at Highclere, 
in Hampshire; raised from seed gathered in the interior of 
New Holland, by Mr. Cunningham. We have called the 
species after the family name of the possessor and introducer 
of the plant. 
Comes near to Passiriora adiantifolia, figured in the 
second volume of this work, in respect to the flower and 
general habit of the shrub; but differs in the shape of the 
foliage. It has the same remarkable and somewhat ano- 
malous crown and operculum, the same keeled segments 
of the calyx, the same tall straight pistillum, but a 
shorter urceolus than adiantifolia. Mr. Gowen says the 
plant grows and flowers freely, and is all but hardy. An 
excellent subject for the conservatory. Now first appear- 
ing in our collections. Wed
