AMERICAN PASSIFLORACEAE 499
(N). Ceara: Quixada, Swollen 4474 (N). Fortaleza, Drouet 2367
(G). Matto Grosso: Corumba, Moore 915 (B, BM, type). Rio
Paraguay, Moore 820 (BM).
This is a slender plant with very thin leaves. The name strigosa
is scarcely appropriate, inasmuch as the indument is very scant.
The basal lobes are almost wanting in the Drouet specimen.
301p. Passiflora foetida var. fluminensis (M. Roemer) Killip,
comb. nov.
Passiflora foetida Veil. Fl. Flumin. 9: pi. 86. 1827. Not P.

Plant densely hirsute throughout (except the ovary) with long,
eglandular, yellowish hairs 2 to 4 mm. long; leaves hastate, the length
and greatest width subequal, the middle lobe broadly lanceolate, the
lateral lobes suborbicular-ovate; bracts 2.5 to 3 cm. long, tripinnatisect,
hirsute, the segments not closely interwoven; ovary glabrous;
fruit 1.5 to 2 cm. in diameter, yellowish.

Pohl & Schott 2454 (V).
Velloso's illustrations were unaccompanied by descriptions, and
there always is uncertainty in associating herbarium specimens with
them.
Roemer's description was evidently based solely upon the
illustration. Gardner described a wholly different plant under the
name P. Vellozii, erroneously citing as a synonym the Velloso figure
(pi. 86). Triana and Planchon were correct, I believe, in identifying
(Ann. Sci. Nat. V. Bot. 17: 175. 1873) Gaudichaud 1026 with the
plate in question, though they followed Gardner in citing it, as well
as the Roemer name, as P. Vellozii.
