mu- cronate, entire, the petiole with 2 or 3 pairs of glands:
 
stipules large: fl. large (3-5 in. across) and interesting, fragrant 
 
with ovate sepals and petals (the former white within and the latter
 
reddish), the crown composed of 5 series of white-and-purple

pp. 4, 7. G. 33:161 — Widely grown in the tropics, and variable, both
 
as a vine and for its edible frs. Frequent in collections of economic
 
plants in the N. It is a good climber for covering a greenhouse roof.
 
Best results are secured if the temperature does not fall below 50°.
 
The fr. ripens in summer. The fls. usually need to be hand-pollinated
 
if fr. is wanted on house-grown plants. Var. variegata, Hort. (P.
 
variegata, Hort. P. aucubifolia, Hort.), has foliage blotched with
