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). 225. Passiflora dasyadenia Urban, Symb. Ant. 3: 328. 1902. Stem terete, the older portions glabrous, the younger densely ferruginous-tomentulous; stipules linear-subulate, 5 to 7 mm. long, early deciduous; petioles 1.5 to 5 cm. long, subquadrangular, biglandular below middle, the glands sessile, minute, contiguous, rarely a third gland borne near apex of petiole; leaves ovate or ovate-lanceolate, 6 to 13 cm. long, 3.5 to 6 cm. wide, rounded or truncate at apex (or the lower sometimes 3-lobed, the lobes oblong, the lateral about half as long and half as wide as the middle lobe, ascending), rounded or cordulate at base, repand-dentate, 3-nerved (middle nerves prominent), strongly reticulate-veined (veins impressed above), sparingly pilosulous above, densely short-pilosulous on nerves and veins beneath, coriaceous; peduncle up to 4 cm. long; bracts ovate, about 1.5 cm. long and 8 mm. wide, deciduous, borne about 8 mm. below base of flower; calyx tube short-campanulate; sepals lanceolate, about 2 cm. long and 8 mm. wide, obtuse, aristulate just below apex, green and minutely pilosulous without; petals linear-oblong, about 1.5 cm. long and 4 mm. wide, obtuse, thinmembranous, white; corona filaments in about 7 series, the outermost filiform, 1.5 cm. long, those of the second series liguliform,
AMERICAN PASSIFLORACEAE 381 3 mm. long, 1-nerved, those of the succeeding 3 series tuberculiform, less than 1 mm., the innermost filiform, about 1.5 mm.; operculum membranous, incurved, fimbriate at margin; limen cupuliform, closely surrounding base of gynophore; ovary globose, densely brown-tomentose; fruit subglobose 3 to 4 cm. in diameter; seeds obovate, about 5 mm. long, 3 mm. wide, terminating in a mucro nearly 2 mm. long, finely reticulate. TYPE LOCALITY: El Aji, Cuba. DISTRIBUTION: Western Cuba. CUBA: El Aji, Eggers 4670 (B, type, P). Pinar del Rio: Sierra de Anafe, Leon 2855 (N), 8808 (HS), 8811 (HS); Roig & Le6n 4708 (HV); Wilson & Ledn 11534 (N, Y). Habana: Dekssert (Gen). Isle of Pines, Britton, Britton & Wilson 15476 (F, Y). Loma Peregrina, Leon 13348 (HS). Recent material sent by Brother Leon permits description of the flower, the species having originally been described from a specimen in fruit only. The species is evidently related to P. serratifolia; in addition to having a much smaller flower with a different coronal structure, it differs in many vegetative details. Series 7. Setaceae 226. Passiflora setacea DC. Prodr. 3: 329. 1828. Passiflora Sururuca Veil. Fl. Flumin. 9: pi. 88. 1827, without description. Cieca Sururuca M. Roemer, Fam. Nat. Syn. 2: 141. 1846. Stem terete, softly brownish-tomentose; stipules setaceous, about 5 mm. long, soon deciduous; petioles up to 3 cm. long, bearing near base a pair of saucer-shaped, sessile glands about 1 mm. wide; leaves 5 to 8 cm. long, 6 to 10 cm. wide, 3-lobed to slightly below middle (lobes oblong or lance-oblong, 1.5 to 3.5 cm. wide, acute, aristulate, serrulate or subentire), cordulate at base, 3-nerved, membranous or subcoriaceous, glabrous, often pilosulous on usually impressed nerves, and sublustrous above, densely and softly browntomentose beneath; peduncles up to 9 cm. long, stout, articulate and often curved near apex, tomentose; bracts verticillate, borne about 1 cm. below flower, oblong-lanceolate, 1.5 to 2 cm. long, 5 to 8 mm. wide, acuminate, narrowed at base, serrulate or laciniateserrulate above middle; flowers up to 10 cm. wide; calyx tube cylindric-campanulate, about 1.5 cm. long, conspicuously purplelined without; sepals oblong, 3.5 to 4 cm. long, 5 to 7 mm. wide,
