8 SMITHSONIAN MISCELLANEOUS COLLECTIONS VOL. 8y 



As Buchenau has shown, ^ this is the same as T. pcltophormn Benth., 

 described from Ecuador a year earHer. All material of this species 

 which I have seen comes from Ecuador. This and the following 

 species are both listed in the Hortus Veitchii (page 438). 



Tropaeolum smithii DC. 



The entry in the Hortus \eitchii gives Colombia for this collec- 

 tion of Lobb's. The species ranges from Venezuela to Ecuador, so 

 the Lobb plant may have come from either Colombia or Ecuador. 



There are nine entries of Tropaeolum in the " List of Dried Speci- 

 mens," of which eight are associated with places in Ecuador and one 

 is from Colombia. 



PASSIFLORACEAE 



Masters in Mart. Fl. Bras. 13^: 530-627. 1872. 



Passiflora trifoliata Cav. ( Tacsonia trifoliata Juss. ) 



Page 538. " Habitat in Peruvia : Ruiz et Pavon ! Gay ! Mathews n. 



674 ! 675 ! Cruikshanks ! MacLean ! ; et in Columbia : Lobb n. 20 ! " 

 This is a common species of the high mountains of central Peru, 



and Lobb's collection was almost certainly made there. 



Passiflora ampullacea (Mast.) Harms. {Tacsonia ampidlacea 

 Mast.) 



Psge 539. " Habitat in Ecuador prope Cuenca : Jameson ! ; in 

 Nova Granada : Lobb ! " 



The Lobb specimen is a perfect match for the Jameson plant as 

 well as for Lehmann's 4602, the type of Passiflora hieronymi Harms, 

 from the western Andes of Cuenca. The latter species must be 

 reduced to synonymy. The Lobb plant doubtless came from the 

 vicinity of Cuenca where he made large collections. 



Passiflora urceolata (Mast.) Killip {Tacsonia urccolata Mast. ) 

 Page 539. " Habitat in Colombia: Lobb n. 121 ! " 

 This species is known only from the single type specimen, so that 

 conclusions as to the precise locality are difficult to draw. Inasmuch 

 as its nearest relatives, P. ainpnllacca and P. niatthctvsii are from 

 southern Ecuador and northern Peru, respectively, it is probable that 

 it, too, came from that general region.
