Resumen

Passiflora veronesiae sp. nov. se describe e ilustra como una nueva especie de la transición andino-amazónica en el sureste de Ecuador y del norte de Perú. La nueva especie pertenece a Passiflora subg. Passiflora, supersect. Stipulata, y está morfológicamente emparentada con especies de la ser. Menispermifoliae, especialmente P. menispermifolia y P. deltoifolia. Se distingue por la combinación de un indumento denso, híspido y dorado; pecíolos con 7–9 glándulas cupuliformes distribuidas a lo largo de su longitud; hojas enteras a ligeramente trilobuladas, con la lobulación, cuando está presente, niciándose por encima de la mitad de la lámina; brácteas estrechamente ovadas a lanceoladas; y segmentos del perianto y de la corona de color rosado a magenta. Se proporciona una clave taxonómica para las especies más similares. Con base en registros georreferenciados, se propone una evaluación preliminar de se estado de conservación.
