A new species is described from the Andes of Peru. Passiflora weigendii sp. nov. is a close relative of P. mixta, P. tripartita var. mollissima and P. cumbalensis var. mesadenia but differs in having pendent flowers and a different form of the stipules which have an arista about 1cm long. The new species is somewhat intermediate between the sections Elkea and Tacsonia and thus questions the current classification.
