Tacsonia (from the Peruvian name of one of the species). Passifloraceae. From Passiflora, Tacsonia differs in having a long-tubular calyx, stamens and petals usually 5, the latter never wanting, corona of tubercles or very short threads, and in a short reflexed crown near the base of the fl.-tube. However, the line of demarcation between the two genera is often not well marked and Harms (Engler & Prantl’s Pflanzenfamilien) unites Tacsonia with Passiflora. Masters (Trans. Linn. Soc. 27) accepts 25 species of true Tacsonia, relegating the intermediate forms largely to Passiflora. Other species have been discovered subsequently. The Tacsonias are all S. American, inhabiting the Andes. They are tendril-climbing shrubs or herbs, requiring the treatment given passifloras. Tacsonias are cult. freely in the open in Cent. and N. Calif. T. manicata (Passiflora manicata) is a common and striking red-fld. tall climber in S. Calif. In this work, following Engler & Prantl and also Hooker, the Tacsonias are described under Passiflora.
