(Puates XIX. & XX.) 
Tue following notes comprise a descriptive list of the Passifloress 
gathered by M. André in his remarkable journey in Ecuador and 
New Granada, in 1875 and 1876, and specimens of which have 
been kindly placed in my hands for determination. Owing to 
the intrinsic complexity of floral organization, and more especially 
to the defective nature of herbarium specimens, any fresh accession 
of well dried examples of this group is more than usually welcome. 
M. André’s specimens are generally excellent; they are accom- 
panied by descriptive notes taken on the spot, and often by 
careful analytical drawings. 
By the aid of these notes I have been enabled to determine 
almost all the plants collected by M. André, to indicate certain 
species as new, as well as to supplement and correct, in some 
cases, what I have previously written concerning the plants of this 
order. 
In enumerating the species I have followed the order adopted 
in my monograph of the Order in Martius and Eichler's ‘ Flora 
Brasiliensis,’ vol. xiii. pars 1, published in March 1872, and which 
I have cited throughout. Ihave also availed myself of the mono- 
graph of New-Granadan species published by MM. Triana and 
Planchon in the * Annales des Sciences Naturelles, 5me sér. tome 
xvii. (1873), pp. 121 e£ seg. Although issued subsequently to the 
part of the ‘Flora Brasiliensis, it is most probable that the 
monograph of MM. Triana and Planchon was completed some 
time before; for they refer constantly to my “ Contributions to 
the Natural History of the Passifloracezs," published in the Trans- 
actions of this Society, vol. xxvii. p. 593 (1871). In that paper 
the species were only indicated by name, without descriptions or 
illustrations. It hence became incumbent on me in a few instances 
to furnish further explanations ; and this I have already done (in 
the case of species cultivated in Europe) in the * Journal of the 
Royal Horticultural Society,’ 1872, vol. iv. pp. 125 e£ seq., and 
also, where occasion demanded it, in the present memoir under 
the head of particular species.
