The aim of this study is to survey and describe the Passifloraceae species from the Environmental Protection Area of Belém (EPA- Belém). Passifloraceae is represented in the area by two genera and a total of 13 species: Dilkea, (D. johannesii) and Passiflora, (P. acuminata, P. auriculata, P. araujoi, P. ceratocarpa, P. foetida, P. nitida, P. glandulosa, P. picturata, P. quandrangularis, P. serratodigitata, P. tholozanii and P. vespertilio). A new occurrence of P. ceratocarpa is recorded for the state of Mato Grosso. The presence of a corona with three sets of filaments is reported as a new diagnostic feature of P. glandulosa. Additional studies are required in order to expand our knowledge of Passifloraceae in the Amazon region.
