This species is at once recognized by the shape of bracts. The flowers are larger than in P. foetida, the sepals being linear or linearlanceolate, as in P. Palmeri. 299. Passiflora bahamensis Britton, Bull. N. Y. Bot. Card. 5: 315. 1907. Plant glabrous throughout; stem subterete, striate, slender, purplish; stipules cleft nearly to base into narrowly linear or filiform, gland-tipped segments; petioles 1 to 3 cm. long, usually bearing a few stiff, gland-tipped hairs; leaves panduriform, 4 to 6 cm. (or up to 17 cm.?) long, 2.5 to 4 cm. wide (or wider?), 3-lobed middle lobe much elongate, 1.5 to 2 cm. wide, abruptly acuminate, often slightly narrowed to base, the lateral lobes more or less dependent, round or slightly angular, 3-5-nerved, glandular-denticulate, coriaceous, bright green, sublustrous above; peduncles solitary, up to 4 cm. long; bracts 2 to 3 cm. long, 1 to 1.5 cm. wide, deeply 2-3-pinnatisect, the ultimate filiform segments gland-tipped; sepals lanceolate or ovate-lanceolate, about 1.5 cm. long, 1 cm. wide, obtuse, dorsally awned just below apex, the awn 2 to 2.5 mm. long; petals ovateoblong, slightly shorter than sepals; corona filaments in 5 series, those of the 2 outer filiform, 8 to 10 mm. long, those of the 3 inner series capillary, 1 to 1.5 mm. long; operculum membranous, minutely denticulate; limen cup-shaped; ovary ovoid, glabrous; fruit globose, 1.5 to 2 cm. in diameter, "bright-red and shining when ripe"; seeds oblong, about 4 mm. long, 2 mm. wide, reticulate.

AMERICAN PASSIFLORACEAE 473 The shape of the leaves of this species is quite uniform, and very different from that of other representatives of Dysosmia. The bracts are of the P. foetida,*not the P. pectinata, type. 300. Passiflora vestita <strong>Killip</strong>, sp. nov. Herba scandens tota rufo-hirsuta; folia trilobata, lobis ovatolanceolatis, acutis vel acuminatis, lateralibus suberectis, sinu cum lobo medio acuto vel subacuto, ad basin truncata vel cordata, dense glanduloso-ciliata; bracteae 1-2-pinnatisectae, segmentis paucis, ultimis glanduliferis; fructus globosus, rufo-hirsutus; semina obcuneata, 8 mm. longa, 5 mm. lata, apice tridentata, margine laevia, medio 10-reticulata, brunnea, nitida. Herbaceous vine, densely rufo-hirsute nearly throughout; stem subterete; stipules semi-annular about stem, laciniate-cleft to about 1 mm. from base into filiform, gland-tipped segments; petioles 6 to 15 cm. long, rufo-hirsute, bearing in addition numerous gland-tipped hairs about 3 mm. long; leaves 7 to 15 cm. along midnerve, 5 to 12 cm. along lateral nerves, 6 to 12 cm. wide, 3-lobed (lobes ovatelanceolate, acute or acuminate, the lateral lobes suberect, the ^inus between them and the middle lobe acute or subacute), truncate or cordate at base, densely glandular-ciliate at margin, membranous, dark green above, paler beneath; peduncles solitary, 4 to 5 cm. long, stout; bracts 4 to 5 cm. long, pinnatisect or obscurely twice pinnatisect, the segments relatively few, the ultimate segments filiform, gland-tipped; calyx tube and sepals densely grayish-hirsute without; fruit globose, about 4 cm. in diameter, deep yellow, rufo-hirsute; seeds obcuneate, about 8 mm. long, 5 mm. wide, tridentate at apex, reticulate at middle of each face with about 10 reticulations, smooth toward margin, dark brown, lustrous. Type in United States National Herbarium, No. 1,356,534, collected in forest between Yurimaguas and Balsapuerto (lower Huallaga basin), Department of Loreto, Peru, altitude 135 to 150 meters, August 26, 1929, by E. P. <strong>Killip</strong> and A. C. Smith (No. 28126). Duplicates at F and Y. DISTRIBUTION: Known only from type locality,' northern Peru. The material here described was past its prime when collected, the flowers being badly withered. It clearly represents a species of the subgenus Dysosmia, but it can not be referred to P. foetida, even taking that species in the widest sense possible, or to any other described species. The lateral leaf lobes are erect, nearly as long as the middle lobe, and the sinuses between the lobes are acute; the
