P. incarnata, the May apple, has a perennial root, herbaceous shoots, and sweet-scented flowers, variegated with purple. The fruit is about the size of an apple, orange-colored, with a sweetish yellow pulp, but it requires the heat of the stove to bring it forward.
P. cærulea is the tallest and most ligneous of the species. The stem will grow almost as large as a man's arm, and the shoots will often grow the length of fifteen feet in one summer. The leaves are the most elegant of the genus. The flowers are blue outside, and purple and white within: they have a faint scent, and continue but for one day. The fruit is egg-shaped, of the size and color of the Mogul plum, the yellow skin of which encloses a sweetish disagreeable pulp and black seeds. Besides the species thus enumerated, some varieties have been procured by cross impregnation, which are very remarkable for their beauty, and for having acquired the hardihood of their parent. The most valuable of these artificial productions, is the P. cæruleo-racemosa, raised by Mr. Milne, of Fulham, from seed of P. racemosa impregnated by P. cærulea, and figured in the Transactions of the Horticultural Society, vol. 3. tab. 3., and the P. alato-cærulea, obtained by Mr. J. H. Masters of Canterbury, between P. alata of the West Indies, and P. cærulea.
All the species grow and flower freely in a mixture of loam, and light rich earth or peat, with plenty of room. Most of them fruit in the stove, but the P. cærulea seldom fruits in the greenhouse. They are all easily increased either by seeds or very young cuttings, in a close moist heat. As fruit-bearing plants the Passifloras are thus treated: " Having procured plants with good roots, plant such as are intended to fruit in a border in the stove, and train them to a trellis near the glass; they will in general produce fruit the second year. The seedlings of the P. incarnata, will produce fruit the first year. All the species will fruit even in large pots; but Sabine says, the "best method is to plant them in an angle of the bark-bed, which has been parted off, either by boards or brick-work, as low as the pit goes.

Herein the roots will strike freely, and will even spread through the partition into the pit, growing into the fresh tan. Such roots may be trimmed and reduced whenever the tan is changed; but should the plant have been some time in its station, it will be as well to leave part of the old tan in the bottom of the pit, in which the protruded roots may remain undisturbed. They do not require the full heat of the pine stove, for they flourish best in a temperature of from sixty-five to seventy degrees but they do not bring their fruit to perfection if kept in a common greenhouse or conservatory, though they will grow and flower in it. The shoots, as they advance, must be trained near to and under the inclined glass of the stove: the flowers will appear in May, and the blooming will continue until September, the fruit setting the whole time but if it does not set well, it will be advisable to impregnate the stigmas by applying the pollen with a feather. As they grow, the very strong shoots should be cut out from their origin, for these do not bear fruit so abundantly as those which are less vigorous but the fruiting branches must not be shortened on any account. The temperature must be kept up equally during the time of flowering and fruiting. The crop will begin to come in in August, and will continue until January; but the earlier produce is the best. When the crop is all off, which will be early in January, the heat must be reduced to about fifty degrees, so as to check or stop the growth this being effected, the shoots must be well cut in. As little old wood as possible, besides the main stem, which rises from the pit to the glass, and a few pieces (about two or three feet of each) of the old branches should be retained; for all that is to be trained under the glass to bear in each year, ought to be the growth of the same season. It is found that the shoots break better, and in greater quantity, from the older wood than from that of two years' standing. In this dormant and reduced state it is to be kept during January and February, after which the necessary heat may be applied to cause it to resume its functions for the ensuing season." (Hort.
