Description

Passiflora coccinea Aubl.

Histoire des plantes de la Guiane Françoise 2: 828, pl. 324 (Aublet 1775).

TYPE SPECIMENS. — Plate 324 from Aublet, Histoire des plantes de la Guiane Françoise 2: 828 (Aublet 1775) (lecto-, designated here; Fig. 3).

French Guiana • Road of Tonate, km 30 from Kourou; 1.XI.1968; R. A. A. Oldeman 2875; epi-, P [P05589952], designated here (Fig. 4).

DISTRIBUTION. — The distribution of this species is still poorly known due to the difficulty of distinguishing species close to this taxon on herbarium specimens, probably Guianas and Amazon and Orinoco basins.

NOTE

This name has been widely misapplied in the literature to many other red-flowered species of Passiflora.

Following articles 9.4 and 9.11 of the International Code of Nomenclature (Turland et al. 2018), only the illustration accompanying the protologue of P. coccinea (plate 324) can be considered as original material and thus be defined as lectotype. However, this plate does not show the relevant characters (especially precise structure and colors of series filaments) by which it could be identified and distinguished from other species of Passiflora supersect. Coccinea. The specimen Oldeman 2875 (Fig. 4), showing flowers and mentioning colors, is thus designated as the epitype of P. coccinea.
