Amongst the most remarkable plants that
liavc hitherto been discovered ranks this rare
species, of which living plants were brought
in 1844 from Sierra Leone, by Mr. Whitiield.
It forms a bush about as large as
a Caméllia; and some idea of the structure
of its flowers may be formed, when we state
that the species has been referred to the
natural order PassiJloràcecG by some botanists,
and to CuQurhitàcece by others. The propagation
of this plant may be eifected by cuttings,
and in other respects its treatment should
resemble that of Gardènia, and other first-class
stove plants. Syn. 1, Whitfieldii.
