AMERICAN PASSIFLORACEAE 467<br />

Lower California.<br />

In regard to P. frulicosa he says, "It has a very<br />

loose, shrubby upright caudex, 2-4 dm. high and a few rather short,<br />

sprawling stems. It differs from Palmeri in being smaller, more open,<br />

and more spreading. Like Palmeri it has very oily herbage, which<br />

stains the collecting sheets, but it differs in the amount of glands."<br />
