SAPINDACEAE 
Serjania dasyclados Radlkofer var. sibundoya 
R. EE. Schultes var. nov. 
Frutex scandens, a Serjania dasyclados principaliter 
foliolis subtus densius tomentoso-pilosis, supra dense et 
sordide adpresso-pilosis et tactu mollibus differt. 
This concept would seem to represent either a south- 
ern variant of Sexjania dasyclados or an endemic variety 
possibly confined to the mountain-encircled Valley of 
Sibundoy where a large number of endemic plants have 
been found. It is at once distinguished from Serjania 
dasyclados by having dense and appressed hairs of a dirty 
brown color on the upper surface of the leaflets. The 
more northern collections of the Colombian Serjania 
dasyclados (the type and a cotype from Cundinamarca 
at 700 and 1000 m. respectively; a collection from Cal- 
das at 1800-2100 m.; one from Santander at 2000-2600 
m.; one from Norte de Santander at 2000-2500 m.) 
have no indumentum on the upper surface of the leaflets. 
CotomsiA: Comisaria del Putumayo, Valley of Sibundoy, Sibundoy, 
alt. about 2225-2300 m. ‘*Vine. Flowers white; fruits ripen red. 
Hairs on both leaf surfaces.’’? May 29, 1946, Richard Evans Schultes 
& Mardoqueo Villarreal 7652 (Tyre in Herb. Gray).
