4. Passiflora clathrata Masters (1872: 580)

Type: — Sello 2335 (lectotype B, destroyed).

Lectotype (here designated):— BRAZIL. Minas Gerais: Without locality, 1816–1821, A. de Saint-Hilaire 2157 ( P00464294 !).

Syntypes: — BRAZIL. Goiás: Gardner 3192 ( K) ; Minas Gerais: Lindberg 361a ( BR!), Lindberg 623 ( BR!), Claussen 377 ( P!, W), Saint-Hilaire 465 ( P!), Warming s.n. ( P!, US!).

Notes: —Masters (1872) listed a total of eight syntypes for P. clathrata . Killip (1938: 462) later lectotypified the name with one of these syntypes, Sello 2335 at the herbarium of the Botanisches Museum Berlin-Dahlem ( B). This type was undoubtedly lost in the 1943 fire that destroyed parts of the herbarium and museum (Hiepko 1987). Because no duplicates of this specimen have been found, a new lectotype is here chosen from the remaining syntypes. From the images that were available online, we chose a specimen ( A. de Saint-Hilaire 2157) that we believe best matches the description while also showing the range in variability of leaf morphology.

For authorship purposes, the correct citation should be simply “Masters” following Art. 46.6 of the ICN (McNeill et al. 2012).
