Abstract

A new species of Passiflora Section Decaloba, P. andicola, endemic in northwest Peru is here described and illustrated. This new herbaceous climber differs from its related species in the indumentum, flower morphology and geographical distribution. Passiflora andicola inhabits montane forests of Cajamarca and Lambayeque Departments. In addition, the morphology and distributional range of P. andicola and related species are compared and discussed.
