532 FIELD MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY BOTANY, VOL. XIX only one in arborea and mLindeniana; see also pilose nerves." These glands are certainly quite unlike the glands in P. emarginata and the indument is of a darker color and more pronounced. The inner filaments of the corona are far more slender than in though the operculum is substantially the same. 319. Passiflora putumayensis <strong>Killip</strong>, sp. nov. that species, Arborescens, ubique ovario excepto glaberrima; folia ovatolanceolata, ad apicem obtusam angustata, membranacea, utrinque viridia et lutescentia; pedunculi dichotomi, bracteis setaceis; calycis tubus late campanulatus, sepalis petalisque oblongis, albidis; coronae filamenta biseriata, exteriora inferne anguste linearia, supra medium dilatata, apice attenuata, interiora pauca, filiformia; ovarium ovoideum tomentosum. Shrub or tree, glabrous throughout except the ovary, the branchlets subangular; petioles 2 to 3.5 cm. long; leaves ovate-lanceolate, 19 to 25 cm. long, 8 to 11 cm. wide, gradually narrowed to an obtuse, mucronulate apex, rounded at base, entire, penninerved (lateral nerves 13 to 15 to a side; midnerve biglandular on under side close to the base, the glands scarlike, about 2 mm. in diameter), membranous, green and sublustrous on both surfaces; peduncles 4 to 5 cm. long, slender, once dichotomous; bracts setaceous, 1.5 to 2 mm. long, soon deciduous; calyx tube broadly campanulate, 7 to 8 mm. long and about as wide at the throat; sepals oblong, about 2 cm. long and 7 mm. wide, obtuse, white; petals similar to the sepals but narrower; corona filaments in 2 series, the outer about 1.5 cm. long, yellow, narrowly linear in lower half, dilated above middle, attenuate at apex, the inner few, filiform, about 3 mm. long; operculum membranous, about 3 mm. high, white, minutely denticulate; ovary ovoid, truncate at apex, white-tomentose. Type in the United States National Herbarium, No. 1,594,215, collected at La Tortuga, Comisario del Putumayo, Colombia, May, 1935, by H. Garcia B. (Herb. Nac. Colomb. No. 4630). Apparently this is the only specimen of Astrophea collected in the little explored southeastern part of Colombia, lying in the Amazon basin. The lustrous leaves are suggestive of P. Schultzei, of the Bogota plateau, but they are of a thinner texture, with a less elevated nervation, and they are much narrowed at the apex. The operculum, moreover, is merely denticulate. 320. Passiflora emarginata Humb. & Bonpl. PI. Aequinoct. pi 23. 1813. 1: 79. Astrophea emarginata M. Roemer, Fam. Nat. Syn. 2: 152. 1846.
AMERICAN PASSIFLORACEAE 533 Small tree 3 to 5 meters high, the cortex rugose, dark gray, the branches erect, terete, the younger subangular, rufo-hirtellous; petioles up to 2 cm. long, rufo-hirtellous; leaves obovate or obovateoblong, 11 to 20 cm. long, 4 to 8 cm. wide, narrowed to a rounded and often emarginate apex, rounded or subcuneate at base, penninerved (midnerve biglandular on under side near base, the glands black, nearly 2 mm. in diameter; lateral nerves 12 to 18 on a side, parallel, straight or slightly arcuate near ends, prominent, darker than the blade), coriaceous or subcoriaceous, dark green and glabrous above, paler and occasionally glaucous beneath, tomentulous or minutely hirsutulous on the midnerve; the peduncles up to 10 cm. long, 1-2-furcate, main portion subequaling or twice as long as branches, rufo-hirtellous or minutely pilosulous; bracts linear-subulate, about 3 mm. long; calyx tube campanulate, 5 to 7 mm. long, about 6 mm. wide; sepals oblong, 2 to 3 cm. long, about 6 mm. wide, obtuse, white; petals linear-spatulate, 2 cm. long, white; corona filaments laterally compressed, in 3 series, the outermost subdolabriform, 1 to 1.5 cm. long, yellow in the upper half, white in the lower, the filaments of the 2 inner series linear-falcate, dilated, 1.5 to 2 mm. long, white; dperculum arising 3 to 4 mm. below the corona, membranous, 1.5 mm. high, erect, erose-lobulate, white; ovary subglobose, densely tomentose; fruit subglobose, 2.5 cm. long, 2 cm. in diameter, ferruginoustomentose, reddish; seeds broadly ovate, 5 to 6 mm. long, 4 to 5 mm. wide, reticulate, shallowly 3-toothed at apex, the axis slightly curved.

When I was in Popayan, Dr. Antonio Garcia, an enthusiastic botanist of that city, who has written several articles on the flora of the upper Cauca Valley, called my attention to a "tree passionflower," growing in the Western Cordillera, which he had described (Garcia, Cartilla Objectiva 156. Popayan, 1919) as Pasionaria Valenciana. Specimens of this were procured from the type locality. Comparison of these with the very complete description and illus-
