Passiflora quetzal

The vine is glabrous. The stems are terete and glaucous. Stipules are 10-19 × 10-20mm, depressed ovate, auriculate, clasping, widely obtuse, abruptly acute and apiculate-mucronlate to abruptly long-acuminate, and the margin entire to obscurely crenulate and 8-15 glandular. Petioles are (1-)2- glandular near or proximal to the middle. Nectaries are 0.6-0.8 × 0.4-0.9 mm. Blades are 7-11.5 × 7.5-11.5 cm, subpeltate 2-3(-3.5) mm from the margin, entire or glandular-denticulate at the very base, not variegated at maturity, very widely obovate to widely elliptic or ± circular, at base extremely shallowly cordate to truncate or slightly rounded. Leaves are shallowly to obscurely 3-lobed, with lateral lobes that are broadly obtuse to rounded or nearly obsolete, and a central lobe that is obtuse or somewhat rounded to truncate. Laminar nectaries are marginal, with 4 or 5 gland borne basally, (0)1 to 8 glands borne just proximal to the lateral veins, and (0)2 to 8 glands borne marginally distal to the lateral veins. Penduncles are (1)2 per node, 3.6-5.8 cm, and uniflorous. There are 2 bracts at the apex of the peduncle, which are 0.9-1.3 × 1.0-1.3 cm, ovate to widely ovate-oblong, cordate, free to the base, entire, 6- to 12-glandular marginally, obtuse to rounded, apiculate or abruptly long-acuminate, and light green. …
