AMERICAN PASSIFLORACEAE 535<br />
ILLUSTRATION: Engl. & Prantl, Pflanzenfam. 3, pt. 6a: 12. j. 25D;<br />
21:477.f.218D.<br />
DISTRIBUTION: Known only from the type locality, in the mountains<br />
of northwestern Colombia.<br />
N,S).<br />
COLOMBIA: Antioquia: Yarumal, Lehmann 7631 (B, type, G, K,<br />
Specimens of this collection distributed from Kew bear the data<br />
"Between Sibat and Fusagasuga (Department of Cundinamarca)."<br />
The copy of Lehmann's field notes, in the Kew library, however,<br />
gives the Antioquia locality.<br />
This species is very closely related to P. emarginata, the only<br />
points of difference being apparently the more deeply cleft operculum<br />
and the indument on the under side of the veins.<br />
322. Passiflora Schultzei Harms, Notizbl. Bot. Gart. Berlin 10:<br />
808. 1929.<br />
Shrub about 1.5 meters high, glabrous throughout except the<br />
ovary; petioles 2.5 to 3 cm. long; leaves oblong or oblong-lanceolate,<br />
15 to 25 cm. long, 5 to 11 cm. wide (up to 30 cm. long and 15 cm.<br />
wide?), acute or subobtuse, rounded at base, penninerved (principal<br />
lateral nerves 12 to 14 to a side; midnerve biglandular at base),<br />
strongly reticulate-veined, coriaceous, lustrous, concolorous; peduncles<br />
7 to 10 cm. long including branches, 1 to 3 times forked;<br />
flowers white; calyx tube broadly funnel-shaped, about 8 mm. long<br />
and 8 mm. wide at throat; sepals oblong, 1.6 to 1.8 cm. long, 7 to 8<br />
mm. wide, obtuse; petals slightly shorter than the sepals; corona<br />
filaments in 3 series, the outermost 1 to 1.3 cm. long, falcate-dilated<br />
above middle, attenuate at apex, the inner filiform, 2 to 3 mm. long;<br />
operculum borne just above middle of tube, membranous, about 2<br />
mm. high, lacerate-fimbriate; ovary ovoid, sericeo-velutinous.<br />
TYPE LOCALITY: Fusagasuga, Colombia, 1,800 meters altitude.<br />
DISTRIBUTION: Known positively only from the type locality in<br />
the Eastern Cordillera of Colombia.<br />
COLOMBIA: Mutis 2273 (Ma, N). Cundinamarca: Fusagasugd,<br />
Schultze 151 (B, type).<br />
The thick, strongly veined, lustrous leaves and long peduncles are<br />
the character by which this species may be most easily distinguished<br />
from its near relatives. The Mutis specimen lacks flowers and therefore<br />
is doubtfully placed here. Its largest leaf is 30 cm. long and 15<br />
cm. wide.
