Hi – thanks for the pictures and notes. Is this pf you have resinous? If you touch it does it exude a sort of incense smell? I am trying to ID one like this that grows wild in very dry areas of Oahu. Ray
donde puedo comprar esta planta o sus semillas gracias
I photographed this plant in the northern part of southern Baja, where it grows wild. I’m assuming it can be found all through the region. As far as I know that would be the best place to collect seed. Not sure if nurseries would carry this species of Passiflora.
Beautiful! Did you take these pictures in February of this year? I would love to have this plant, did you collect any seeds or see any fruit?
Yeah, I think they must have been taken in Feb 09, or November of 08, or both. The vines always seem to be in bloom. Seems to grow easy from seed. I may be back there next month. The ripe fruit is pretty good. Fuzzy leaves. Attracts honeybees.
Could you provide me with a location or GPS coordinates? I was thinking of going that way at the end of June of this year, and would love to find some. In fact, that would be my main reason for going.
Hi Anthromes,
My name is Yero R. Kuethe. I am a botanist, specialized in
the Passiflora genus. Those pictures sure are awesome.
At the moment, I am working on a book to publish all the
547 different Passiflora species we know, and except our own
pictures we have taken from Passiflora, we use the pictures
from other people, with recognized photographer credits of course,
for fulfilling our database of species, so we are always looking to find Passiflora pictures taken by travelers around the world.
Well, during my time looking for photos, I found your
picture of this Passiflora palmeri, containing a very nice and interesting species, and I was very excited!
That’s because this is the real Palmeri, and those species are very rare. The other Palmeri, the purple and more common one, is a Passiflora sublanceolata. They said to be a variety.
So do you give me the permission to use this one for my book?
I hope to hear from you at your earliest convience.
Best regards,
yero r. kuethe
