1. Passion-flowernoun

   granadilla, Latin. Passion-flower hath a double calyx, the first consisting of three leaves, the other of five, which expand in form of a star: the flowers consist of five leaves each, and are of a rosaceous form: in the centre of the flower arises the pointal, with a crown fringed at the bottom, but furnished with a tender embryo at the top, on which stand three clubs, under which are the stamina, with rough obtuse apices, which always incline downward; the embryo turns to an oval or globular fruit, fleshy, and consisting of one cell, which is full of seeds adhering to the sides, and covered with a sort of hood or veil.
