slightly verrucose to apex, those of the inner series linear-clavate,<br />

about 2 mm. long, strongly compressed; operculum borne at middle<br />

of tube, 1.5 to 2 mm. long, white, filamentose about to middle; ovary<br />

oblong, densely and softly puberulous.<br />

TYPE LOCALITY: Minas Geraes, Brazil (type, Martins MS. No.<br />

1136, in Munich Herbarium).<br />

ILLUSTRATION: Mart. Fl. Bras. 13, pt. 1: pi. 108, f. 1.<br />

DISTRIBUTION: Southeastern Brazil, extending from Minas Geraes<br />

southward.<br />

Large-leafed forms of this species are sometimes confused with<br />

P. Mansii. Flower structure of the two is quite different: in P.<br />

Mansii the inner filaments of the corona are subulate, in P. haematostigma<br />

linear-clavate; in P. Mansii the operculum is filamentose to<br />

the base, in P. haematostigma cleft only part way. Tendrils are<br />

usually present in this species, although in Mosen's plant from Sao<br />

Paulo they are very slender. Passiflora platystyla is scarcely distinguishable<br />

from P. haematostigma.<br />

This is one of the few species of Pseudoastrophea of which the<br />

lowermost leaves have been seen in herbaria. The sheet of Dusen<br />

16521 in the Gray Herbarium shows a portion of the basal part of<br />

the plant bearing leaves shaped much like those of P. ligularis. The<br />

thick stem of this lower portion has stout tendrils, and the plant<br />

doubtless is a woody vine rather than a shrub.<br />

Janeiro 5: 217. pi. 30. 1930.<br />

Woody vine; stem terete, pilosulous, glabrescent with age;<br />

petioles about 2 cm. long, biglandular at apex, the glands sessile;<br />

leaves ovate or cordate-ovate, 10 to 14 cm. long, 7 to 12 cm. wide,<br />

obtuse at apex, cordate, entire, penninerved (principal lateral nerves<br />

about 7 to a side), conspicuously reticulate-veined, thick-coriaceous,
