Remarks
Passiflora compar from Guyana and French Guiana has much thinner leaves without a continuously glandular margin. The corona and operculum of both species present morphological differences between themselves and with P. coccinea. (vide abstract). Etymology: The Latin noun in apposition, “compar” means “equal, companion” and refers to the second row of corona filaments nearly as long as the first row, and to the fact that this new species stands close to P. coccinea.
