Table 1 in Imprecise descriptions of Passiflora riparia Martius ex Masters led to redundant descriptions as P. emiliae Sacco, P. crenata Feuillet & Cremers, P. pergrandis Holm-Nielsen & Lawesson and P. fernandezii Escobar

Table 1. Comparison of descriptions of P. riparia, P. emiliae, P. crenata, P. fernandezii, P. pergrandis and P. ambigua, with additional information from related iconography (*).
