History at Camden Park
Listed only in the 1857 catalogue [T.723/1857]. William Macarthur’s note book no.4, [MP vol. 52], contains descriptions of 6 hybrid passifloras, unnamed. These possibly represent some of the named hybrids, including delicata, which subsequently appeared in the 1857 catalogue. The normal type generic name and italicised specific name of ‘Passiflora delicata’ as printed in the 1850 and 1857 catalogues is strongly indicative of a Camden Park hybrid.
