Notes
Passiflora megacoriacea is a new species that is relatively common in Costa
Rica and Panamá. MacDougal brought my attention to the variation of
vegetative and floral characters of some of the Costa Rican and Panamanian
specimens then identified as P. coriacea. He began growing clones of plants
from Panamá and Costa Rica in 1979, collected the type in Costa Rica in 1980,
and received descriptions of the plant from others (e.g., Jim Mallet) in the field.
