15. Passiflora vellozoi Gardner (1845: 103) , as ‘ Vellozii ’

≡ Cieca vellozoi (Gardner) M. Roemer (1846: 142) , as ‘ Vellozii ’.

Neotype (designated by Killip 1938: 514):— BRAZIL. Rio de Janeiro: Organ Mountains , 3,000 ft, July 1837, Gardner 427 ( BM566167 !; isoneotype K00323328 !).

Notes: —The spelling of the epithet is to be corrected to “ vellozoi ” to comply with Art. 60.12 and Recommendation 60C.1 of the ICN (McNeill et al. 2012).

Gardner’s (1845) protologue of P. vellozoi included Vellozo’s (1831) plate 86, “ Passiflora foetida ” [sensu Vellozo], as a synonym for his new name. Max Roemer (1846: 142) later asserted that Vellozo’s (1831) plate 86 actually referred to Dysosmia fluminensis , which now serves as the lectotype of that name (see name A1, above). Killip (1938: 515) agreed with Roemer’s decision stating that, “Gardner described a wholly different plant [from Vellozo’s illustration] under the name P. Vellozii ,” and chose Gardner 427 to serve as the neotype for the name.
