Other claims from this paper (5)
- Observation Diagnostic characters separated P. speciosa from P. margaritae.
- Observation Diagnostic characters separated P. velutina from P. toxicaria.
- Observation Partially duplicolumellate muri in P. dolorosa reinforced species-level recognition.
- Observation Qualitative and quantitative pollen data do not support recognition of the two supersections as separate supraspecific taxa.
- Observation Passiflora pollen is large to very large, 6-syncolpate and oblate-spheroidal.
