P A S PAT
From passio, passion, ioiàjlos, a
flower ; in allusion to the filamentous appendages or
l a y s bearing a resemblance to the emblems ot the
passion of Christ. Linn. 16, Or. 2, Nat. Or. Passifloracea.
The species of this interesting and elegant
genus are admirably adapted for stove and greenhouse
climbers, being of easy culture, free growers,
and if allowed plenty of 100m, producing abundance
of beautiful flowers ; many of the kinds produce hui t
freely, from which, through impregnation, several
fine hybrids have been raised. The fruit of some,
as P. edulis, laurifolia, and P. quadrangularis, or
Granadilla, are eaten; the succulent pulp which
surrounds the seeds is found to be f ragrant , cooling,
and pleasant-, agreeably acid, and admirably adapted
for allaying thirst in hot climates. P. edulis and
P. laurifolia will fruit freely in the plant stove.
The quadrangularis bears fruits resembling a large
lime, and to cause it to produce them in abundance,
should be treated as follows:—Plant it in a large
box, or in a partitioned off corner of a stove, or tanpit
; if in the latter, holes may be bored in the sides
to admit the egress of the roots into the tan. The
shoots should be trained parallel to the glass as
vines, and treated similar to melons, that is, the
most vigorous shoots removed, as they will be
found not to bear so freely as those of a moderate
growth; it will generally be found necessary to
set the frui t by artificial impregnation, taking care
to give the plant abundance of water. All the
species will thrive well in a mixture of loam and
peat, and are easily increased by cuttings planted
in sand. The hardy kinds should be planted in
sheltered situations. Synonymes : 1. P . heterophylla.
