  This 
  species 
  is 
  allied 
  to 
  Passiflora 
  gritensis 
  Karst. 
  of 
  the 
  highlands 
  of 
  Vene- 
  

   zuela, 
  which 
  is 
  known 
  to 
  the 
  writer 
  only 
  from 
  description. 
  In 
  P. 
  gritensis 
  

   the 
  leaves 
  are 
  deeply 
  3-parted, 
  the 
  divisions 
  being 
  acute 
  and 
  mucronate, 
  and 
  

   the 
  peduncles 
  are 
  twice 
  as 
  long 
  as 
  the 
  leaves. 
  The 
  unusual 
  character 
  of 
  the 
  

   bracts 
  seems 
  to 
  be 
  common 
  to 
  both 
  species.

  This 
  species 
  has 
  no 
  very 
  close 
  affinities. 
  Its 
  deeply 
  lobed 
  leaves 
  resemble 
  

   those 
  of 
  Passiflora 
  coerulea, 
  but 
  its 
  linear 
  stipules 
  and 
  more 
  slender, 
  rose- 
  

   colored 
  petals 
  and 
  the 
  longer

  readily

   tinguish
