followed by a wide band of blue, the lower three-quarters alternately<br />

banded with red and white, the 2 or 3 inner series consisting of minute<br />

tuberculiform filaments barely 1 mm. long; pperculum membranous,<br />

about 2 mm. high, with numerous dentiform processes at margin;<br />

TYPE LOCALITY: Organ Mountains, in southeastern Brazil (type<br />

collected by Lobb).<br />

ILLUSTRATIONS: Bot. Mag. 69: pi. 4009; Fl. des Serres 2: pi. 10.<br />

April, 1846; Gard. Chron. III. 32: 15. /. 8. 1902.<br />

DISTRIBUTION: Southeastern Brazil.<br />

BRAZIL: Martins (Brux). Villa Thuret, collector uncertain, in<br />

1889 (A). Rio de Janeiro: Theresopolis, Erode 9493 (B). Sao<br />

Jonsson 834a (S). Jaguariahyba, Dusen 17463 (B, S).<br />

From P. Jileki, the only Brazilian species of this immediate relationship,<br />

P. actinia is readily distinguished by the shorter, oval,<br />

obtuse leaves. It is sometimes confused with P. sidaefolia (P.<br />

tetraden Veil.), but the leaves of that species are 3-lobed, though<br />

sometimes obscurely so, and the bracts are different.<br />

Passiflora paulensis appears to be a form of this with smaller,<br />

thinner leaves and smaller flowers.<br />
