Hi there,
This are some very good pictures of this Passiflora.
So let me give you the identification.
the scientific name is Passiflora vitifolia
First, its Taxonomy:
family Passifloraceae
genus Passiflora
supergenus: Distephana
species: vitifolia
the Passiflora vitifolia is very closely related to a few other species within the Distephana supergenus.
What this species will seperates from other Distephana are the three lobbed leafs, which are very similar to a grape-vine. (Vitis)
The Latin name as Vitifolia, means “with leafs like Vitis” grape genus.
Very nice picture
kind regards,
yero r. kuethe
