PASSIFLOREZ OF ECUADOR AND NEW GRANADA. 33 
glabres en dessous. M. André’s plants, however, are nearly 
glabrous above and pilosiusculous below, but not at all glaucous. 
The following deseription applies to M. André's plant, which 
I here consider a pilosulous form of P. spherocarpa :—“Arborea 
vel fruticosa, novellis, foliorum pagina inferiore, sepalis (extus) 
ovarioque puberulis. Petioli 1 cm. Folia subcoriacea, oblonga, 
obtusa, emarginata, basi rotundata ibique glandula ocellata utro- 
que latere przdita. Inflorescentia paniculatim cymosa foliorum, 
casu aphylla, erecta. Pedunculi breves. Alabastra claviformia. 
Flores expansi 4 cm. diam. Tubus campanulatus pilosulus. 
Sepala oblonga obtusa ecorniculata, intus albida. Petala albida 
conformia, tenuiora, paulo breviora. Corona extima faucialis 
e filis arcuatis superne clavato-dilatatis vel dolabriformibus con- 
stans, fila interiora multo breviora erecta apice vix dilatata; 
corona media membranacea e tubo versus medium assurgens, basi 
tubulata, integra vel 2-3-partita, superne denticulata denticulis 
aliis erectis aliis inflexis. Ovarium cuboideum, sulcatum ; styli 
puberuli. 
As specimens of the true P. ovata of Martin do not, so far as 
I am aware, exist in any other herbarium but that of the British 
Museum, it may be well to give here some of its characteristics, 
complete description being impossible owing to the condition of 
the specimens. 
P. ovata, Martin. Arbor? vel arbuscula? ecirrosa P vel cirris 
paucis predita. Rami subangulati, tomento rufo vestiti. Folia

Petioli graciles, 3 cm., apice glandulis sessilibus prediti. Sti- 
pule.... Cirri quandoque deficientes? simplices. Pedunculi 
supraaxillares, petiolos subequantes, superne bifurcati. Bracteæ

It is clear from this that the plant has nothing to do with that 
mentioned by MM. Triana and Planchon. From its general 
appearance, and from what can be distinguished as to the 
corona, and especially from tbe form of the ovary and styles, I
