 1938. 



A species belonging in the gênerai group with Passiflora Leschenaultii DC. 

 and strikingly différent from ail the species hitherto described from Indo- 

 China and contiguous areas. The leaves are prominently 3-lobed, almost 

 hastate in shape, ail lobes acute or slightly acuminate, the terminal one 

 larger than the latéral ones, the latter distinctly spreading. The leaf shape 

 in gênerai reminds one of some of the species of Acer with 3-lobed leaves 

 and some forms of Hedera hélix Linn.
