AMERICAN PASSIFLORACEAE 461
The densely hirsute ovary distinguishes this species from both
P. menispermifolia and P. hastifolia. The form of the leaves is
intermediate between these two species.
290. Passiflora hastifolia Killip, Journ. Wash. Acad. Sci. 14:
113. 1924.
Plant densely hirsute throughout (except flowers) with stiff,
white hairs; stem terete; stipules subreniform, 1.2 to 1.5 cm. long,
5 to 6 mm. wide, aristate, coarsely dentate at base, subentire above;
petioles up to 3 cm. long, bearing 2 to 4 stipitate glands about 1.5
mm. long; leaves 4 to 7 cm. long, 6 to 9 cm. wide, hastate (lobes
acute, the middle lobe ovate-lanceolate, 2 to 3 times as long as the
lateral lobes, 2 to 3.5 cm. wide, the lateral lobes divergent), subcordate,
5-nerved, minutely denticulate or subentire, membranous;
peduncles not seen; bracts ovate, 1 to 1.3 cm. long, about 7 mm.
wide, acute, glandular-serrate; flowers about 5 cm. wide; sepals 1.5
to 2 cm. long, 6 to 7 mm. wide, corniculate at apex, dark green without,
white at margin, white within; petals oblong-lanceolate, 1 to
1.5 cm. long, 4 to 5 mm. wide, obtuse, white; corona filaments' filiform,
in several series, the outermost 1 to 1.2 cm. long, pink at apex,
white at middle, purple at base, the succeeding 4 or 5 series composed
of numerous purple filaments 3 to 5 mm. long; operculum inflexed
at base, membranous below, filamentose above, the filaments erect;
limen membranous, closely surrounding base of gynophore; ovary
ovoid, glabrous, pruinose.
TYPE LOCALITY: Milluguaya, North Yungas, Bolivia.
DISTRIBUTION: Western Bolivia.
BOLIVIA: La Paz: Milluguaya, North Yungas, 1,300 meters,

The indument which covers this plant nearly throughout is very
similar to that of P. nephrodes. The leaves, however, are truly
hastate, the inner corona filaments are much shorter, and the ovary
is glabrous.
