This is readily distinguished from P. Eggersii and P. Guentheri,<br />

the two other entire-leaved species of this section. The bracts, soon<br />

deciduous and not present in several of the specimens examined, vary<br />

from linear-setaceous to ovate or oblanceolate, a rather extreme<br />

variation within a species.<br />

242. Passiflora Guentheri Harms, Notizbl. Bot. Gart. Berlin 10:<br />

811. 1929.<br />

Plant glabrous throughout; stem sub terete; stipules semi-oblong,<br />

1 to 2.5 cm. long, 0.5 to 1 cm. wide, mucronate (mucro 3 to 4 mm.<br />

long), entire, thick-coriaceous, persistent; petioles 1.5 to 3.5 cm. long,<br />

4-glandular, the glands about 1.5 mm. wide, sessile, 2 borne near<br />

apex of petiole, 2 near middle; leaves oblong-ovate or ovate-lanceolate,<br />

7 to 14 cm. long, 3 to 7 cm. wide, acute or subacute at apex,<br />

rounded at base, septuplinerved, conspicuously reticulate-veined,<br />

thick-coriaceous, bright green above, glaucescent beneath; peduncles<br />

solitary, 3 to 4 cm. long; bracts ovate-lanceolate, 6 to 7 mm. long,<br />

about 3 mm. wide, acuminate at apex, cordulate, sessile, dissitate<br />

Bolivia.<br />
