Two new kinds, both of hybrid origin, have lately been added to this genus. Fortunately both are capable of being grown to perfection in the greenhouse. P. Kewensis was obtained by crossing P. kerrne-sina, a stove species, with P. carulea. It is of slender, elegant growth and wonderfully profuse in flowering. The flowers are of a bright rosy purple, in structure more suggestive of P. kermesina than the other parent, to which, however, the purple coloring is due. For clothing the rafters of houses where light-loving plants are grown, this is better than almost any other passion flower - the majority being of denser growth. The other hybrid was raised in a private garden near Exeter in 1885, and is now being sent out by Messrs. Cannell of Swanley. It has been named "Eynsford Gem," and its parents are P. racemosa and the white-flowered variety of P. carulea called "Constance Elliott" Dr. Masters, our chief authority on the genus, describes it as exceptionally beautiful, "even among a genus famed for good looks." The petals are of a lovely shade of rosy lilac,' the threads of the corona being ivory-white, tipped with violet.
