Remarks

doi:10.3417/2020630 Named in memory of Jorge Mário Pires, the first author’s father and her eternal personal and professional inspiration. Additionally, 'Jorge' comes from the Greek, meaning 'one who works on the land', which is appropriate for a Passiflora that survives in the very narrow Cerrado from Barreiras, surrounded by extensive crops.
