  This 
  species 
  resembles 
  3-lobed 
  forms 
  of 
  Passiflora 
  seemanni. 
  Its 
  bracts 
  

   are 
  much 
  longer 
  and 
  completely 
  envelop 
  the 
  flower; 
  they 
  are 
  of 
  a 
  thicker 
  

   texture, 
  are 
  acute 
  rather 
  than 
  rounded 
  at 
  the 
  apex, 
  and 
  are 
  densely 
  puberu- 
  

   lent 
  on 
  both 
  surfaces. 
  The 
  sinuses 
  between 
  the 
  central 
  and 
  the 
  lateral 
  leaf- 
  

   lobes 
  are 
  biglandular. 
  In 
  Passiflora 
  platyloha 
  the 
  lower 
  portion 
  of 
  the 
  fau- 
  

   cial 
  corona 
  consists 
  of 
  4 
  or 
  5 
  definite 
  rows 
  of 
  tubercles; 
  in 
  P. 
  seemanni 
  the 
  

   tubercles 
  are 
  densely 
  massed, 
  apparently 
  not 
  being 
  arranged 
  in 
  any 
  definite 
  

   order.
