As per link, P. tarminina is distinguished from P. tripartita var. mollissima by a number of features. P. tarminina has small deciduous stipules while P. tripartita var. mollissima has larger, persistent stipules. The sepals and petals in P. tarminina are perpendicular to the floral tube or are reflexed, whereas they are never so open in P. tripartita var. mollissima. They are also both much shorter in relation to the length of the floral tube in P. tripartita var. mollissima than in P. tarminina.

Plant for ID Jun 2011 SMP1:
After observing so many Passifloras from Sir ji Just thought of sharing this plant(Climber) observed at SFO Botanical garden in Jun 2011.
I think it is from Passifloraceae. Big climber. Flowers about 10cm in size. Mostly drooping down.

I think it is Passiflora tripartita var. mollissima (Banana Passion flower)

Yes … think you are right.

Yes Passiflora tripartita var. mollissima

Identification:
Just joined this group because I intend to start learning to identify plants/trees in India – been restricted to animals and birds till now.
I saw this flowering plant/vine in Nilgiris Botanical Garden. November 2012. About late afternoon/early evening. Can anyone please help me identify this? Like I said, I am new to plant/tree identification. The closest I can guess is the Amaryllidaceae family (Pancratium, Zephyranthes – less likely) or the Rutaceae (Atalantia) family from looking through the Flowers of India website.

The plant is a Passiflora sp., most probably P. mollissima of Passifloraceae.

Yes, I agree with … Passiflora mollissima (H.B.K.) L. H. Bailey Syn: Tacsonia mollissima H.B.K.
