THE most graceful ornament to the hot-stove is the elegant and favourite genus Passiflora, whose
branches meandering against the interior sides of the building adorn it to the greatest advantage. From
a branch of the Passiflora perfoliata thus situated in the collection of the Countess de Vandes our
drawing was taken. The only coloured figure of it we have seen is in the Hortus Schcenbrunnensis of
Jacquin. It flowers in great luxuriance during the months of July and August.
