We present here the rediscovery of Passiflora auriculata Kunth and P. cisnana Harms in Maranhão state, northeastern Brazil, and new reports of occurrence of those species in Alagoas state, northeastern Brazil, and Tocantins state, northern Brazil. We provide taxonomic information, distribution maps, and conservation status of both species, thereby contributing to increasing knowledge on Passifloraceae in those states.

“…Decaloba. Many studies with new records in Passifloraceae, such as Silva et al (2016Silva et al ( , 2018 and Mezzonato-Pires et al (2017, 2018, show the importance of filling distribution gaps and mapping occurrence sites. The new records presented here reinforce the need for more collections, especially in the Amazonian Domain, as well as the correct identification of specimens by specialists.…”

New records of Passiflora subgenus Decaloba (Passifloraceae)

Milward‐de-Azevedo¹

2019

New records of 5 species of Passiflora subgenus Decaloba (Passiflora amalocarpa, P. auriculata, P. longilobis, P. saxicola, and P. transversalis) from various municipalities, Brazilian states, and Latin American countries are documented. Therefore, this survey contributes to the knowledge and geographical distribution of the family Passifloraceae sensu stricto. Records of P. longilobis and P. transversalis, species previously considered endemic to Brazil, were confirmed from Bolivia and Panama, and from Argentina, Paraguay, and Uruguay, respectively.

“…Research on the Passifloraceae s.s. in Maranhão is scarce and limited to localized surveys and reports of new occurrences (Koch et al 2014, Silva et al 2016, Mezzonato-Pires et al 2017.…”

“…Information on the flora of Maranhão, which is composed of representatives from the Amazon, Cerrado, and Caatinga biomes, is still meager and fragmented; most studies concern local floristics and/or ethnobotany (Silva et al 2016). This is justified due to the wide variety of environments in Maranhão, which include cer-rados, babassu-palm forest formations, and large forests.…”

et al. 2018

We present here new records of Passiflora (Passifloraceae sensu stricto) species from Maranhão state, Brazil: P. cincinnata Mast., P. picturata Ker Gawl., and P. vespertilio L. This is the first report of occurrence of P. vespertilio to northeastern Brazil. Our data reinforces the need for more collections in Maranhão, as the great environmental richness of the state is not yet sufficiently studied.
