294 PASSIPLORE.E. 



Of the allied "West Indian species, viz. P. incarnata, L., 2 sessile glands at the summit 

 of the petiole ; P.ft/amentosa, Cav., involucel serrate ; and P. pedata, L. (Desc. Fl. t. 351), 

 involuted serrate, and leaves pedatipartite, none occur in our collections. 



Sect. 5. Dysosmia. — Calyx ^-partite, supported by a large, S-leaved involucel, the leaflets 

 of which are divided. Petals 5. Crown 3-5-seriate : exterior rows filamentose. — 

 Petioles bearing indefinite, long-stipitatu glands, or eglaudular : stipules usually divided ; 

 pedicels simple, 1-2, axillary ; flowers whitish. 



23. P. pectinata, Gr. {n. sp.). Glabrous; leaves cordate-deltoid, slightly 3-lobed, con- 

 tracted below the middle, crenixlate-repand with minute marginal glands on the summit of 

 the excurrent veins : petiole eglandular : stipules subulate, rigid, often glanduliferous at the 

 base ; pedicels single ; involucel-leaflets linear, simply pinnatipartite : segments short, dis- 

 tant, excurrent into a gland ; crown half as long as the narrow calyx-segments. — Stem 

 woody below, striate-augular ; leaves 2"-li" diam., 5-nerved, pointed, with rouuded auricles, 

 very glabrous, eglandular on the surface : petiole 6"'-8"', stipules 2'" long ; tendrils as long 

 as the leaves; pedicels flexuose, about l"long; involucel 1" long, as long as the flower : 

 leaflets liguliform : the middle portion V" broad, the segments 1'" distant from each other, 

 spreading, setaceous, slightly dilated at the base, 1'" long or shorter: terminal gland ovoid; 

 calyx-segments tapering from the 2'" broad base, exceeding the linear petals : exterior crown- 

 filaments 6'" long, as long as the gynophore ; interior rows formed of short filaments. — 

 Hab. Bahamas !, Hjalmars, Turk Islands. 



24. P. ciliata, Ait. Glabrous, glanduliferous ; leaves 3-lobed, truncate or subcordate 

 at the base, subserrate, bearing long-stipitate glands on the serratures and the petiole : lobes 

 spreading, lateral semiovate, middle oblong, pointed : stipules multipartite, glanduliferous ; 

 pedicels- geminate ; involucel-leaflets bipinnatipartite : secondary segments long-setaceous, 

 excurrent into a gland ; exterior crown nearly as long as the flower, innermost entire. — Bot. 

 Mag. t. 288. — Leaves 2"-li" diam. : petiole l"-i", stipules 4'" long ; pedicels 1£", involu- 

 cel 1" long : secondary segments 2"'-3"' long, ultimate exceeding the flower ; calyx-segments 

 oblong-lanceolate, 8"'-6'" long, equalling the lanceolate petals ; gynophore half as long as 

 the flower, half-enclosed within the spreading, innermost crown : 2 middle crown-rows 

 formed of short filaments. — Hab. Bahamas ! ; Jamaica !, Pd., in the Black River savannah. 



25. P. foetida, L. Villous and glanduliferous; leaves roundish, 3-lobed or angular, 

 usually cordate at the base, ciliate with hairs and glands on the denticulate or subentire 

 margin : stipules multipartite ; pedicels 1—2 ; involucel-leaflets Z-pinnatipartite -. tertiary 

 segments long-setaceous, excurrent into a gland ; exterior crown exceeded by the flower, 

 innermost entire ; berry ovoid. — Cav. Diss. 10. t. 289. Desc. Fl. 5. t. 375. — P. hibisci- 

 folia, Lam. P. gossypifolia, Desv. — Variable in the leaves and down ; leaves 2'-5" diam. ; 

 flowers white with the crown rosy ; sepals oblong, 1" long or shorter, equalling the homo- 

 morphous petals, somewhat exceeded by the ultimate involucel-segments. — Hab. Jamaica !, 

 all coll., common on fences ; all Caribbean Islands ! to Trinidad !, Cr ; [Cuba ! and Mexico ! 

 to Brazil !]. 



Sect. 6. Murucuja. — Calyx deeply 5-lobed or 5 -partite : tube campanulate or cyathiform. 



Petals 5. Crown \-2-seriate : exterior inserted into the calyx-throat, filamentose or 



entire, interior plaited or lacerate, covering the disc. — Leaves ocellated beneath : petiole 



eglandular; bracteoles minute or none. 



The entire crown of the original Murucuja is, as Linnaeus observed, no generic character, 

 and, though this section is a connecting link with Tacsonia, it is better retained in Passiflora, 

 into which it passes by Pentaria and by P. penduliflora. 



* Calyx campanulate, greenish-white ; crown partitioned. 



26. P. penduliflora, Berter. Glabrous; stem striate-angular ; leaves roundish, 

 slightly 3-lobed at the sinuate or subtruncate top, ocellated with scattered glands beneath : 

 lobes broadly rounded, mucronulate, erect; pedicels simple, 2-1, often elongated-pendulous, 

 jointed below the middle ; calyx campanulate, exceeding a little the whitish corolla : crown 

 1 -seriate, 12-14- partite -. segments thickened above, orange-coloured, much exceeded by the 

 petals ; gynophore exserted ; berry globose, as long as the carpophore. — Bot. Mag. I. 4565.
