380 FIELD MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY BOTANY, VOL. XIX
This is Passiflora No. 1 in the Amoenitates and the Species Plantarum.
The first reference in the Species Plantarum is to the
Amoenitates, and the figure there shown (p. 10, f. 1) clearly represents
the plant that has commonly passed as P. serratifolia. This figure
evidently was derived from Martyn's illustration (likewise cited in
the two Linnean works) of a Houston plant from Veracruz, Mexico,
a specimen of which is now in the British Museum. The habitat
"Surinam" given by Linnaeus can be traced to Tourneforte's brief
description (Inst. 241) of "Granadilla sirinamensis, folio oblongo
serrato," quoted in the Amoenitates but omitted from the Species
Plantarum. The Tourneforte description refers perhaps to the
common Guiana plant, P. coccinea Aubl. Masters lists specimens
from Martinique and Surinam as P. serratifolia. There is a sheet
of P. serratifolia in the Paris herbarium labeled "Martinique M.
Belanger, 1857-1860," and one in the Berlin herbarium labeled
"Surinam," without precise locality data or name of collector. I
believe that these represent 'cultivated plants or that there has been
a confusion of locality data, and that the species does not occur
naturally outside of Mexico and Central America.
LOCAL NAMES: "Injito amarillo" (Tabasco); "amapola,"
"granadilla del monte" (Central America).
