AMERICAN PASSIFLORACEAE 141
DISTRIBUTION: Salvador, 650 to 1,400 meters altitude.
SALVADOR: Ahuachapdn, Padilla 478 (N). San Salvador, Velasco
(J. D. Smith 8887; N, type); Standley 19279 (G, N); Calderdn 810
(G, N). Cerro del Guayabal, Calderdn 2004 (N).
In this species and the following the operculum is longer than
in other species of Decaloba, and is folded very slightly and at
the apex only, thus suggesting Murucuja and Granadilla, section
Kermesinae. Likewise, the limen is more elevated than it normally
is in Decaloba, and the stamen filaments are unusually long and
very slender.
The leaves of both P. salvadorensis and P. jorullensis are quite
similar to those of P. ornithoura and P. mexicana.
