Minas Geraes: Vicosa, Mexia 4138a (Cal). . Passiflora quadrangularis is extensively cultivated in tropical America. The thick rind is often made into sweetmeats or preserves; the pulp has usually a pleasant flavor, and is used with or without sugar, or cooked with milk. Masters segregated P. macrocarpa from P. quadrangularis, the justification of this segregation is doubtful. The principal differences noted by him between the two were: P. quadrangularis sepals white within; petals red, longer than the sepals; outermost corona filaments equaling the petals; innermost corona filaments dentiform; fruit smaller than in P. macrocarpa, not grooved; P. macrocarpa sepals violet within; petals violet, shorter than the sepals; outermost corona filaments longer than the petals; innermost corona filaments elongate; fruit very large, 3-grooved. The herbarium specimens here cited certainly do not show such a definite correlation of characters, nor do notes made by collectors, though meager, indicate that two species are represented. The description of the coloring of the floral parts here given is based on personal field observations (<strong>Killip</strong> & Smith 27152}. Fruits which I have examined in tropical markets show much variation in size and in the degree to which they are grooved. The few specimens preserved in the Kew Herbarium, where Masters carried on his studies, do not appear to fall into two readily distinguishable species. A single plant in flower and fruit in the Kew conservatories, passing under the name P. quadrangularis, has the relatively small fruits of that species but the outermost corona filaments are much longer than the petals, as in Masters' P. macrocarpa. Until a thorough study of living material from various parts of tropical America has been made, with a view to demonstrating conclusively the distinctness of P. macrocarpa, it seems best to regard it at most as a horticultural form of P. quadrangularis. Probably P. Allardii is a horticultural hybrid of P. quadrangularis and P. caerulea. It is represented in herbaria by Standley & Valerio 44024 (N) and Pittier 481 (Brux), both cultivated near San Jose", Costa Rica. but
