Passiflora pectinata is a species of flowering plant native to the West Indies. [2] [3]
Passiflora pectinata has been assigned to subgenus Passiflora, section Dysosmia. [4]
The species is named for the pectinate (comb-shaped) involucral bracts.
The vine is glabrous throughout. The stem is subangular, striate, and rather stout. Stipules are deeply cleft into linear or subulate, gland-tipped segments. Petioles are 1 to 2 cm long, often bearing a few stiff, gland-tipped hairs. Leaves are cordate-deltoid, 4 to 7 cm long, 3 to 6 cm wide, obscurely hastate or not lobed, acute or obtusish at apex, deeply cordate at base, repand-crenulate (often with minute glands in the sinuses of the crenations at the tips of the nerves), 5-nerved, coriaceous, often sublustrous. Peduncles are solitary, 2 to 3 cm long. Bracts are 2 to 3 cm, long pectinate or once pinnatifid (segments gland-tipped, scarcely longer than width of rachis), rarely bipinnatifid, but the rachis at least 2 mm. wide. Flowers are 5 to 8 cm wide, white. Sepals are linear or linear-lanceolate, 2.5 to 3.5 cm long, 5 to 8 mm wide at base, obtuse, corniculate just below apex, the horn being up to 7 mm long, subfoliaceous. Petals are linear, 2 to 3 cm. long, 4 to 6 mm wide, obtuse, white. Coronal filaments are in several series, with the 2 outer narrowly ligulate, the outermost 1 to 1.5 cm long, the second 6 to 8 mm long, the succeeding 2 or 3 series consisting of filiform threads 2 to 3 mm long. The operculum is membranous, barely 1 mm high, denticulate. The ovary is ovoid, tapering at apex. Fruit is subglobose, 2 to 3 cm in diameter, deep pink. Seeds are oblong, about 5 mm. long, 4 mm. wide, tridentate at apex, shallowly coarsely reticulate. [3]
Passiflora pectinata is native to the Bahamas, Bermuda, Hispaniola (the Dominican Republic and Haiti) and the Turks and Caicos, where it is frequently found growing in sand dunes and low scrub. [3]
Pachypodium baronii, the Madagascar palm or bontaka, is a flowering plant in the family Apocynaceae. It has the habit of a robust shrub with a spherical or bottle-shaped trunk. It has several cylindrical branches at the top.

Nepenthes naga is a tropical pitcher plant endemic to the Barisan Mountains of Sumatra. It is characterised by a forked sub-apical appendage on the underside of the lid and an undulate lid margin. The specific epithet naga is the Indonesian word for "dragon" and refers to the distinctive lid appendage of this species as well as the large size of its pitchers. The name also references local folklore, which tells of dragons occurring in this species's habitat in the past.

Nepenthes robcantleyi, or Robert Cantley's pitcher plant, is a tropical pitcher plant endemic to the Philippine island of Mindanao. It is closely allied to N. truncata and was once considered a dark, highland form of this species. Nepenthes veitchii from Borneo is also thought to be a close relative.
Vanda wightii is a species of orchid from southern India and Sri Lanka. For some time it was thought to be extinct after being described in 1849. The species was however rediscovered and it is now known from India. It is closely related to Vanda thwaitesii. The species was named by Reichenback after the botanist and collector Robert Wight. 1.
