AMERICAN PASSIFLORACEAE 413
name, suggesting that it was a hybrid between P. alata and P. quadrangularis.
I am including it in this account of the American Passifloraceae
because Masters cites as P. amabilis Sello 599, a collection
which I have not seen, and Harms gives southern Brazil as the home
of the species.
It may be a natural hybrid there.
The detailed description of the flower given above is based mainly
upon a beautifully prepared specimen, sent the U. S. National Herbarium
by Dr. Andr Guillemin, from a plant cultivated on the
Cote d'Azur, France.
