Passiflora vespertilio and P. urnaefolia are characterized by an
unusual structure of the outer rank of the corona. The filaments are
united at the base into a distinct membrane, upon which, at some
distance from the margin, the very slender inner filaments are borne.
The leaves of P. vespertilio are of two main forms: those with the
upper margin an almost straight line (represented by Linnaeus'
drawing in the Amoenitates) and those with the upper margin of the
lobes a curved line, meeting at the middle to form a shallow sinus
(represented by the only specimen in Linnaeus' herbarium in 1753).
Among more recent collections the former is duplicated by Schomburgk
664, the latter by Moss 37.
Masters cites specimens from central Brazil as P. vespertilio, but
the occurrence of true P. vespertilio in Brazil south of the Amazon
basin and Bahia is doubtful, the specimens referred here being better

leaves of each of these species are variable; on the other hand, forms
of species which are quite distinct in coronal structure have very
similar foliage.
Passiflora europhylla was described from a living plant, originating
in British Guiana, of which apparently no herbarium specimen
was made. Masters' description is indefinite in certain important
details, and the species is doubtfully included here.
The fruit of P. vespertilio is eaten in Surinam.
