568 FIELD MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY BOTANY, VOL. XIX & Kuhlmann 16581 (B, N, Ut). Between Paineiras and Jardim Botanico, L. B. Smith 1415 (G, N). Velloso's figure of P. ovalis was unaccompanied by a description or explanatory notes, and under the rules of nomenclature this does not constitute valid publication. Roemer, however, gave a detailed description of Velloso's plate, and the species must be considered to date from the publication of this monograph in 1846. In the Flora Brasiliensis species No. 77 is given as Passiflora silvestris Veil, and Velloso's plate 74, bearing this name, is cited. The description which Masters then gives of this species applies in general, however, to Velloso's plate 75 (P. ovalis), and the figure by which Masters illustrates Passiflora silvestris (pi. 127) agrees almost exactly with Velloso's P. ovalis, and bears no resemblance to the plate of P. silvestris of Velloso. The inflorescence as shown by Masters' plate is an elongate raceme, and the leaves are narrowed at the base, with the petioles biglandular. The detailed enlargement of the flowers shows four styles but a straight gynophore with the staminal structure as in true Passiflora. This conventionalized flower sketch I believe was made from two different plants, one true Tetrastylis ovalis, the other a species of the subgenus Granadilla. Masters merely lists Passiflora ovalis Veil, among doubtful species, stating that only a fruiting specimen was figured. The identity of P. silvestris Veil. (pi. 74) is uncertain. It may well be the plant later described as P. Galbana. 2. Tetrastylis lobata <strong>Killip</strong>, Journ. Wash. Acad. Sci. 16: 368. 1926. Stem stout, triangular, grooved, glabrous; stipules in pairs, semiovate, 5 to 15 mm. long, 3 to 8 mm. wide, aristate, entire; petioles 3 to 8 cm. long, canaliculate above, hispidulous, bearing near middle 2 subsessile saucer-shaped glands, a second pair occasionally present at base of blade, the glands 1 to 2 mm. in diameter; leaves 10 to 15 cm. long (along midnerve), 12 to 20 cm. wide (between apices of lateral lobes), 3-lobed half to two-thirds the length of the blade (lobes variable, oblong, oblong-lanceolate, or broadly ovate-lanceolate, 2.5 to 6 cm. wide, acuminate or acute), cordate, 3-nerved, entire or slightly undulate, membranous, dark green and minutely hispidulous with hooked hairs above, glabrous (occasionally slightly scabrous) and mottled with dull, dark red beneath; peduncles solitary or in pairs, 2 to 3.5 cm. long, glabrous or sparingly hispidulous; bracts setaceous, 2 to 3 mm. long, borne on lower half of peduncle; flowers 3.5 to 6 cm. wide; calyx tube patelliform, about 3 mm. long; sepals
AMERICAN PASSIFLORACEAE 569 oblong-lanceolate, 1.5 to 2.5 cm. long, 4 to 8 mm. wide, sparingly hispidulous and green without, glabrate and white, or pale rose, streaked longitudinally with violet within, terminating in a horn about 2 mm. long; petals ovate-lanceolate, 0.8 to 1.5 cm. long, 5 to 7 mm. wide, obtuse, streaked longitudinally with violet on both faces; corona filaments in a single series, filiform, narrowly ligulate, 1 to 2 cm. long; operculum membranous, deep red, strongly plicate, incurved, up to 5 mm. high, minutely denticulate; nectar ring annular, less than 0.5 mm. high; limen membranous, 1 to 2 mm. high, incurved, crenulate; gynophore about 1 cm. long; stamens united to within 3 mm. of their tips, forming a membranous androecium, the upper portion free from the gynophore; ovary narrowly ovoid, obtuse, tapering at base, glabrous; fruit obovoid, about 10 cm. long, 3 cm. in diameter, green, white-spotted; seed obovate. TYPE LOCALITY: La Hondura, San Jose", Costa Rica. DISTRIBUTION: Costa Rica, 200 to 1,600 meters altitude. COSTA RICA: Endres 60 (V). Limon: Plains of Zent, Pittier 16055 (BM, N), 16100 (BM).

Two of these specimens (Pittier 16055 and Valeria 14) have leaves less deeply lobed than are those of the type, and the pubescence is rather denser. The general appearance of Standley 46149 is quite different, the leaves drying a lighter green and the lateral lobes being much reduced. The flowers of all the specimens cited seem the same, and the differences in vegetative characters are no greater than in many species of the family. 3. MITOSTEMMA Mast. Journ. Bot. Brit. & For. 21: 33. 1883. Scandent shrubs(?); stipules filiform; leaves alternate, shortpetioled; flowers solitary, in pairs, or usually in short, terminal or axillary racemes; bracts and bractlets subulate; flowers small, hermaphrodite; calyx much reduced; sepals 4; petals 4, similar to the sepals; corona filaments in 3 series, those of the outermost series subterete, those of the second narrowly linear, dilated at each side, the innermost filaments spatulate, fimbrillate along margin in the upper part; operculum none; stamens 8 or 10, inserted on the floor of the calyx
