294 PASSirLOREiE, 



Of the allied West Indian species, viz.^T. incarnata, L., 2 sessile glands at the summit 

 of the petiole ; P.filameiitosa, Cav., iavolucel serrate ; and P. pedata, L. (Desc. Fl. t. 351), 

 involucel serrate, and leaves pedatipartite, none occur in our collections. 



Sect. 5. Dysosmia. — Oalyx 5-parlite, supported by a targe, S-leaved involucel, the leaflets 

 of which are divided. Petals 5. Crown S~5-seriate: exterior rows jilamentose.—^ 

 Petioles bearing indefinite, long-stipitate glands, or eglaudular ; stipules usually divided ; 

 pedicels simple, 1-2, axillary ; lowers whitish. 



23. P. pectinata, (rr. (».. sp.). Glabrous; leaves cordate-deltoid, slightly 3-Iobed, con- 

 tracted below the middle, crenulate-repand with minute marginal glands on the summit of 

 the excurrent veins : petiole eglaudular : stipules subulate, rigid, often glanduliferous at the 

 base; pedicels single ; involucel-leaflets linear, simply pirmati/partite ; segments short, ^&- 

 tant, excurrent into a gland ; crown half as long as the narrow calyx-segments. — Stem 

 woody below, striate-angular ; leaves 2"-li" diam., 5-nerved, pointed, with rounded auricles, 

 very glabrous, eglaudular on the surface : petiole 6"'-8"', stipules 2'" long ; tendrils as long 

 as the leaves ; pedicels flexuose, about 1" long ; involucel 1" long, as long as the iiower : 

 leaflets liguliform : the middle portion i'" broad, the segments 1'" distant from each other, 

 spreading, setaceous, slightly dilated at the base, 1'" long or shorter : terminal gland ovoid ; 

 calyx-segments tapering from the 2'" broad base, exceeding the linear petals : exterior crown- 

 filaments 6'" long, as long as the gynophore ; interior rows formed of short filaments. — 

 Hab. Bahamas I, Hjalmars, Tiirk Islands. 



24. P. ciliata, Ait. Glabrous, glanduliferous ; leaves 3-lobed, truncate or subcordate 

 at the base, subserrate, bearing long-stipitate glands on the serratures and the petiole : lobes 

 spreading, lateral semiovate, middle oblong, pointed : stipules multipartite, glanduliferous ; 

 pedicels geminate ; involucel-leaflets bipinnatipartite : secondary segments long-setaceous, 

 excurrent into a gland ; exterior crown nearly as long as the flower, innermost entire. — Bol, 

 Mag. t. 288.— Leaves 2"-li" diam. : petiole V'-i", stipules 4'" long ; pedicels li", involu- 

 cel 1" long : secondary segments 2"'-3"' long, ultimate exceeding the flower ; calyx-segments 

 oblong-lanceolate, 8"^6"' long, equalling the lanceolate petals ; gynophore half as long as 

 the flower, half-enclosed within the spreading, innermost crown: 2 middle crown-rows 

 formed of short filaments. — Hab. Bahamas ! ; Jamaica I, Pd., in the Black Kiver savannah. 



' 25. P. foetida, L. Villous and glanduliferous; leaves roundish, 3-lohed or angular, 

 usually cordate at the base, ciliate with hairs and glands on the denticulate or subentire 

 margin : stipules multipartite ; pedicels 1-2 ; involucel-leaflets Z-pinnatipartite : tertiary 



I segments long-setaceous, excurrent into a gland ; exterior crown exceeded by the flower, 

 innermost entire ; berry ovoid. — Cav. Diss. 10. t. 289. J)esc. Fl. 5. t. 375."— P. hibisci- 

 folia, Zam. P. gossypifolia, i)^j».— Variable in the leaves and down ; leaves 2''-5" diam. ; 

 flowers white with the crown rosy ; sepals oblong, 1" long or shorter, equalling the homo- 

 morphous petals, somewhat exceeded by the ultimate involucel-segments. — Hab. Jamaica !, 

 all coll., common on fences ; all Caribbean Islands! to Trinidad!, Or; [Cuba! and Mexico! 

 to Brazil !]. 



Sect. 6. MiiRiicvji..—Caly3^ dei^ly h-lobed or 5-partite: tube campanulate or cuaihiform. 

 Petals 5. Crown l-2-sertate : exterior inserted into the calyx-throat, fllamentose or 

 entire, interior plaited or lacerate, covering the (^isc— Leaves ocellated beneath : petiole 

 eglaudular ; bracteoles minute or none. 



The entire crown of the original Murucuja is, as Liunseus observed, no generic character, 

 and, though this section is a connecting link mikTacsonia, it is better retained in Passiflora, 

 into which it passes by Peritaria and by P. penduliflora. 



* Calyx campanulate, greenish-white ; crown partitioned. 

 26. P. penduliflora, Berter. Glabrous; stem striate-angular; leaves roundish, 

 shghtly 3-lobed at the sinuate or subtruncate top, oceUated with scattered glands beneath ■ 

 lobes broadly rounded, mucronulate, erect; pedicels simple, 2-1, often elongated-pendulous, 

 jointed below the middle; calyx campanulate, exceeding a little the whitish coroUa ■ crown 

 \-seriate, \%-\i-partite : segments thickened above, orange-coloured, much exceeded by the 

 petals ; gynophore exserted ; berry globose, as long as the carpophore.— 5o< Mag t 4565
