AMERICAN PASSIFLORACEAE 505
At the place of publication of this varietal name Masters cited
only P. Baraquiniana as a synonym. In the Flora Brasiliensis, which
appeared the following year, he listed another synonym, P. hirsuta L.
Amoen. Acad. 1 : 227. This was an inadvertent error, as the Linnean
name was at the same time listed correctly in the synonymy of
P. suberosa. The specimens cited as var. hirsuta by Masters in the
Flora Brasiliensis belong to several varieties.

This is very close to var. hirsuta, and I am separating the two
mainly because of their different geographical distribution.
In the
type of the Galapagan variety the indument of the leaves is much
shorter and softer than in the Amazonian plant.
