lectum Hd. André n. 3904 bis.” 
A species closely allied to P. alba, Link et Otto, and of gardens, 
also to P. glauca of Aiton, and more remotely to P. stipulata of 
Aublet; but recognizable by its slender wiry stems, the shallow 
leaf-lobes, the absence of glaucous hue, and the long flower-stalks. 
As great confusion exists as to the species just named, I append 
in a note at the end of this communication (p. 44) the character- 
istic distinctions between them. 
In addition to the species before mentioned, there are in 
M. André’s collection a few specimens too imperfect to be deter- 
mined, but sufficiently interesting to be briefly mentioned. 
No. 2143 bis, collected on Mount Quindio, has slender glabrous 
sulcate stems, membranous peltate ovate-acute 3-nerved leaves, 
with one triangular central lobe at the apex and indications of 
lateral lobes. The large reniform stipules are leafy and ciliato- 
dentate. If a true Passiflora, it is very distinct from any other 
yet recorded. 
No. 1739, gathered near Viota, New Granada, has glabrous 
striated stems, subcoriaceous leaves divided to the base into three 
linear lanceolate lobes; petioles much shorter than the blade, 
and with small stipitate glands; stipules large, leafy, reniform, 
acute. The others present no remarkable characteristics, and 
are probably referable to well-known species.
