Passiflora edulis ? : 10 posts by 6 authors. Attachments (4).
I think a planted species in Hyderabad, AP on 20/9/08 in KBR National Park. … I have been considering it as P. incarnata; I think P. edulis is with paler version of these shades, blending to white at many places … but that is only my thinking.
Comments here would validate what I have at http://www.flickr.com/search/?q=Passifloraincarnata … in fact, I have contributed it to FOI at http://www.flowersofindia.PurplePassionFlower.html
this is 100% Passiflora caerulea I agree with …, It is Passiflora Incarnata. I have vines of Passiflora edulis and the flowers are paler than this. … knows his plants (he is a landscaper by profession) … but there is always some iota of ambiguity when it comes to identifying garden species and varieties. There are quite a few PASSIFLORAs is found at FOI, among which:
P. caerulea: http://www.flowersofindia.BluePassionFlower.html
P. edulis: http://www.flowersofindia.Passion%20Fruit.html P. incarnata: http://www.flowersofindia.PurplePassionFlower.html (This is my contribution, will stand according to what will be discussed in this post) To kill this ambiguity, I request … and … to comment. (…: I ask you because you reside nearer to these flowers’ nativity).Thanks to … for his comments.
This is how I distinguish between these species of Passionflower: Passiflora caerulea: Petals below the frilly disk of radiating filaments are much longer than them, and protrude much further than that disk of filaments. There is only one ring of white on the disk of filaments. Your post and the picture reminded me of my childhood when we used to pluck these flowers from the creeper on which they grew. we in our innocence called the flower “kaurav and pandav” Note scores of purple petal and the 5 stamens. It has very good and faint frangrance. That was about 5 decades ago in a place called Dewas in MP. Message on my Wikimedia page identifying it as Passiflora ‘Soi Fah’ :

TSP-APR2016-24-324:Images of Passiflora incarnata (Passifloraceae) : 10 posts by 3 authors. Attachments (4) It is my pleasure to share few images of Passiflora incarnata (Passifloraceae) Habit: A climbing vine Habitat: Cultivated Sighting: Chikmagalur, Karnataka, about 1000 msl Date: 18-05-2014, 17-06-2014 and 27-09-2014 i used to have this, never developed any fruits though. wonder why? You are right … Even I have not seen it fruiting so far. As per The Plant List Ver. 1.1 & Tropicos, Passiflora incarnata L. is considered as a syn. of Passiflora edulis Sims
But GRIN considers both as different (last updated in 2013).
I think it is better to follow GRIN in this case. I agree with you …, even the flowers look very different. Can you please check this reference (earlier posting in our indiantreepix) as there is lot of confusion on ID: https://groups.google.com/indiantreepix/34tTCAMSITY I checked upon the link provided by you and am convinced that the images therein are that of P.incarnata and not that of P.edulis Passiflora ‘Soi Fah’ as per images and references herein.
efloraofindia 786543 Passion flower creeper at PUNE: Date 13/08/2011 time 4.00pm Passiflora incarnata This is also called “Krishnakamal” in Marathi Till today I was under the impression that Passion flower is only of blue colour as I had seen only blue passion flower. But today I learned to my surprise that it is also whitish and red in colour. I have always wondered Its hard to make out the species of this plant. To me it looks like Passiflora caerulea. To me this plant does not look like Passiflora caerulea in which leaves are usually 5-lobed (number of lobes if taxonomic character in this genus) and stipules large and reniform (linear here). This could be P. incarnata but not typical one in which petals are not ornamented, it is perhaps a cultivar of it. I have both from California and would upload them soon. This may not be P. caerulea as I said it’s difficult to conclude from these pics. There are many hybrids and similar looking species. Passiflora caerulea may not necessarily have 5 lobed leaves as per its description. Number of lobes may vary according to the age of the plant as well as the nutrients available as per my personal experience of growing some species of Passiflora. There is a good key for some species in eFlora of China and eFlora of Pakistan, as also in Bailey Manual of Cultivated Plants (my copy is at Delhi). Yes P. caerulea may have lesser or more lobes but not in all leaves, majority would be 5-lobed. And yes large reniform stipules can’t be ignored. Nice to read the story. In childhood had heard it. but had forgotten. Passiflora ‘Soi Fah’ as per images and references herein.

This vine has a woody base having a diameter of almost twice of my wrist! It is about 20 yrs old. I have never seen it producing fruits. The flowers are beautifully fragrant.
My earlier thread was accepted as Passiflora edulis Sims. But, why it doesn’t produce fruits?
Tawny Coster butterfly is not uncommon in Hooghly, but I haven’t seen them around my home. Last few days one or two was visiting this vine regularly. Today i recorded some photographs.
Also attached here an old photograph of flower. Received id from …- Passiflora caerulea.
Attached here elaborate features of this species. The question remains though – why it doesn’t produce fruits!The glands at the top of the petiole, margin of lamina, character of stipule, character of bracts (with glands), petiole & pedicel and corona length etc suggest this is Passiflora incarnata L. (ref. FoP; and maybe P. edulis of FoC) not P. caerulea L. as Bimal Da suggested Passiflora ‘Soi Fah’ as per images and references herein.
SYMBIOSIS: (mixed thread): This is the time for all Passion Flowers. We have got three types of Passion Flowers in our garden at cooch behar. Passiflora caerulea, Passiflora quadrangularis and Passiflora holosericea all are in bloom now. Bees are very fond of the flowers of Passiflora holosericea. I have seen Sunbirds on all the three Passion Flowers mentioned. Attaching an image in which female of a Purple Sunbird is on the flower of Pasiflora caerulea.

OBSERVATION : LEOPARD LACE WING/PASSIFLORA : 1 post by 1 author. Attachments (19).
I observed a female Leopard Lace wing butterfly hovering over a Passiflora caerulea plant during first week of October. I knew from my experience that she is to lay eggs. But I could not locate the site where she laid eggs. But on 08-10-14 I saw small larva on the leaves of the host plant. I followed the growth of the larva from that day on. When they were mature enough to form pupa, I brought few of them on the balcony of my house. I had interesting observation. I supplied them with leaves of Passiflora caerulea, Passiflora holosericea and Passiflora quadrangularis and I found they ate all these types of leaves (of course literature on the subject says that Passiflora sp is the host plant for this butterfly). I was able to target on two larva. One of them turned to a pupa on 21-10-2014 and the other on 22-10-2014. On the 10th day of the pupa a male butterfly emerged from the first pupa and a female butterfly emerged from the second Pupa. This sequence is attached as 19 images. Passiflora ‘Soi Fah’ as per images and references herein.
Passiflora caerulea is not only an interesting plant, it is a host plant for Leopard Lace wing butterfly. Recently I could record detail life cycle of Leopard Lacewing with some 400 images. I could capture as many as 8 butterfly (4 male and 4 female) emerging from the pupa in a period of 2 hours.
Attaching 6 images of the sequence. Passiflora ‘Soi Fah’ as per images and references herein.
OBSERVATION : PASSIFLORA CAERULEA/LARVA OF LEOPARD LACE WING : 8 posts by 6 authors. Attachments (12)
I am studying the life cycle of Leopard lace wing for almost 10 years. I have not seen so many butterflies coming out during November 2015 – March 2016 earlier. The host plant was taxed heavily to support so many larvae in such a short period. Gradually the plant lost its leaves to feed the ever hungry larvae. To my surprise I found that the larvae started feeding on the bark of the host plant. I have not seen such thing earlier. A situation arose when only the main trunk of the plant remain with some bark rest all were eaten by larvae. I thought the plant is lost for ever. But on 7-3 2016 I found new leaves coming out of the main trunk.
It was a relief.
This event is uploaded on a series of 12 images. Thrilling observation! Your posts on life cycle of Leopard lace wing are really marvellous. Very nice and biological trimming and thinning of the Passiflora climber. Thanks a lot for sharing. Wonderful pics. Its interesting that Passiflora caerulea is not a native plant for India but this butterfly is. I imagive what could have been its original diet plant? Great documentation as always i somehow missed it. making hospital rounds then i guess. the re-emerging leaves after the twig was eaten to the core is very encouraging.
this is yet another outstanding documentation by you !!! this is likely to be new host plant for the said butterfly sp.! so please contribute your observation to Indian Foundation for Butterflies you deserve appreciation there as well. it will surely boost others who document butterfly ethology & ecology. Please send me your images without watermarks I can format & process them in behalf of you with your name. Wonderful piece of natural history. Appreciate your dedication and passion. Thank you so much … Passiflora ‘Soi Fah’ as per images and references herein.
Re: OBSERVATION : LIFE CYCLE OF LEOPARD LACE WING ( APRIL 2016 ) : 4 posts by 4 authors.
I am observing life cycle of Leopard Lace Wing for last 10 years. Since November 2015 I have recorded this event few times. I have not seen emergence of so many butterflies earlier. In April 2016 I collected some mature larva from Passiflora caerulea (Host Plant). Some of them turned into pupa on 22-4-2016. And these pupa released butterflies on 29-4-2016 ( evening ) and 30-4-2016 (early in the morning). Following points were noted ( a ) This is the first time I saw release of a Leopard Lace Wing in the evening time and flew away within one hour of its release.
( b ) This is the first time I saw release of a Leopard Lace Wing on the 8 th day of life in pupa. Generally it takes 10 days.
( c ) This is the first time I saw release of Leopard Lace Wing early in the morning. ( Around 3.20 AM ).
( d ) This is the first time I saw release of seven Leopard Lace Wing all of them were female.
Attaching 5 images on the subject. Great observations …! I appreciate your work ! Keep it up such documentations! simply superb. a lot of work. is this what you were getting up so early for? your hardwork ===, my enjoying a unique process… Host plant should be Passiflora ‘Soi Fah’ as per images and references herein, as per your other observations.

Fwd: STORY OF A PLANT : ( PASSION FLOWER ) : 2 posts by 2 authors. Attachments (1) In an earlier post on Flowers In Our Garden, I wrote about Gloiosa superba (GLORY LILY). I wrote about my introduction to that plant and where all I have seen that plant and how it has come to our garden. My friend Brig. Rajbir Singh wrote suggested that I should have a series on stories like this (as I am having a series Symbiosis). In fact some of the plants in our garden has got some story. To day I am trying to narrate a story of Passion Flower.
My love with Passion Flower started some time in 1958 at Netrakona (now in Bangladesh). In front of the Municipality office in that town there was a climber with beautiful blue flowers with sweet fragrance. The plant attracted me. I used to pluck mature flower buds in the evening (I was a 5th standard student) and used to put those buds in a bowl of water and the buds used to open up in the morning. I used to see those opening in front of my eyes. They used
to float around (as if swimming with happiness) with sweet fragrance filling the room. The experience can not be narrated (at least I can’t do that). At that time I knew it as JUMKOLATA. Some people in Bangladesh call it as “SITAR KANER JHUMKA” (Meaning JUMKA of Sita’s ear). I left my home town in 1964. Next I saw this plant at Pachmarhi. There was one in the Military Hospital, one in the rock garden near AMALTAS and one at Bharat Scout. They grow from suckers (by this time I knew that it is Passiflora caerulea). I got a sapling from the plant at Bharat Scout. It was planted in one of my friend’s house at Cooch Behar. It was in bloom for a year but died due to neglect.
In 1981 I was at Chail and came across another type of Passion flower (people call it as RAKHI FLOWER).
In 2001 I was at Tezpur and found different types of Passion flower (including Passiflora caerulea). In Assam they call this flower as “PANDAV-KOURAV” and some people call it as “SHANKH-CHAKRA-GADA-PADMAA”
In christen literature Passiflora has a special place.
I brought a sapling from Tezpur in 2002 and planted the same in our garden. It has flourished and bears many flowers at this time of the year. This plant introduced me to the life cycle of a beautiful butterfly Leopard Lace Wing.
It also helped me in my series on symbiosis.
Attaching a collage of the flower in our garden
Thanks a lot, … It is really really nice. If you can write like this, it should go on.

passion flower – efloraofindia | Google Groups : 1 image Your nice picture of Passion Flower is reminding me the famous song of Fraternity Brothers titled “Passion Flower”. I found this youtube link about this song. I think this is Passiflora caerulea….
Following link shows its fruit, but in India, I never heard this particular species fruiting. I even tried pollinating myself and failed I agree with … The one in our office (ATREE) also dosent set fruit, in spite of me did the manual pollination. But I have seen fruit on plants in the higher altitudes of Kerala. I have seen and tasted the fruits in Kanthallor near Eravikulan National Park. It is tastier We call it Krishna Kamal and I have not seen it fruiting in our area. But the fragrance of flower is heavenly. I think this is Passiflora ‘Soi Fah’ as per images and details herein. A picture of Purple Passion Flower.
It was taken at Sula Vineyards, Nasik on the 11th July,07.
Wanted to share it with all of you. Looks like Lord Krishna’s chakra… Beautiful shot!
This is great. Seems like Passiflora caerulea to me….attaching some closeup and abstract shots of this flower…hope you will like them….. Passiflora caerulea indeed !! the Passion flower seems to be the genus of the day and each and every photos are amazing I think this is Passiflora ‘Soi Fah’ as per images and details herein.
031111PD07 Passiflora for ID Flora of Orissa:
sharing another image of Passiflora which i had taken from a garden, Is this Passiflora incarnata ? Name of the species: Passiflora incarnata ?
Family: Passifloraceae
Place of collection: bhubaneswar, Orissa
Altitude: 100 m above msl
Habit: climber
Habitat: Garden As far as I know in Passiflora incarnata the leaves have serrate margin which in missing out here. Hence I am not very confident in determining this plant as the one. You are a real gem. You have not only put us to work to find identity of this plant, but also one uploaded by …, and also similar photographs of mine from California which I had identified as P. incarnata I think I got it, Passiflora x alatocaerulea
Here is the relevant portion of key from Bailey Manual of cultivated plants
Petals white or pink
Outer rays of corona about as long as petals; leaves serrate
Fruit yellow when ripe; leaves dull above ……………… P. incarnata
Fruit deep purple when ripe; leaves shining above …………… P. edulis
Outer rays of corona distinctly shorter than petals; leaves entire
Leaves 5-7 lobed ………………. P. caerulea
Leaves 3-lobed …………….. P. alatocaerulea I have both P. caerulea and P. x alatocaerulea from California. I will upload them soon. Sir My plant is with weakly toothed margins pls see attached pics Yes … Not only that, the corona scales are equalling or longer than petals Sir So mine is P. incarnata? yes … …I have worked on Passifloras for almost one year and seen many live plants. The morphology of the leaves was to be compared with fully open leaves in normal condition and not just the lobes. Having seen my Passiflora alato-caerulea from California I fear the above plant has still to find a name. The corona seems to be longer than petals, a chacter that can’t be ignored in this genus. Plant is Passiflora ‘Soi Fah’
efloraofindia:” Id 03062012MR1’’ need your help; how do I save the Passiflora sp and the ?caterpillars @ Pune:
By evening all the caterpillars gathered at the corner of the leaf up and below the leaf. As you can see in the pic attached they had started voraciously eating into the leaf. Next morning it was even worse. There is grass around my house so I cut the leaf at the stalk and placed it within the grass. I think they would survive there and my plant too was saved. The caterpillars are most likely to be of the Tawny Coster butterfly. Host plants are generally specific for butterflies. Sometimes butterflies have multiple host plants as in this case – caterpillars of this butterfly can also survive on Aporoso lindleyana, Adenia hondala and other species of Passiflora. I agree with what … just wrote ….it was not a favor to your plant either… Thanks for your reply. I did not know that host plants are generally specific for butterflies. In the past I had 5-6 very healthy Impatiens plants. One day I saw huge fat green caterpillars voraciously feeding on them. I was happy and decided to let them be there. But they were such voracious eaters that they did not leave a single leaf on the plants and I lost all the plants. I felt very sad. Having these memories I decided that both should live and put them on the grass. … how many days do these caterpillars take to become a butterfly and would they eat up the whole plant and would the plant survive?. If I know these answers at least in the future I will do the correct thing. Or as … says they should be taken as part of web of life, But if the plant perishes it hurts too… It is tough to decide well done …, this is the way to learn and live peacefully with the creatures that were on the earth before we got here and will be here after we as a species move on, or evolve into something else or die out because of our own toxins…

I was following the life cycle of Leopard Lacewing since 2003. I was easy as two important host plant species for this beautiful butterfly are present in our garden. These are Passiflora caerulea and Passiflora holosericea. Every year I used two record life cycle of this butterfly twice a year. Last time I recorded it was in 2016. After that year i have not seen this event, even though the hosts are there. The following changes took place in the area around. In the name of development hundreds of trees of different species have vanished from the area where there were grass cover have turned into exposed earth or cover with tarmac. These changes have affected at least one species of butterfly (Leopard Lacewing). Such a beautiful species which allowed me to take thousands of images of different stages of life cycle.
… told me to put this observation on record. Attaching few images of the host plants and stages of life cycle of Leopard Lace wing.
wonderful. inspiring. i wish we all could do it. this is citizen scientist at the best. i salute you

lets send it to as many people as i can think of to get conversation going

ecologically this following sentence in your note is noteworthy. when you told me this I was stunned.
i quote “Last time I recorded it was in 2016. After that year i have not seen this event, even though the hosts are there.” end quote
thats why i hoped you will document this. put it out in the universe. ecologists must make a note of it and work to find solutions.
if the insects not survive, humans will not either. Passiflora ‘Soi Fah’ as per images and references herein. . Rakshabandhan greetings with Passiflora incarnata: 3 images- 1 high res. Correct id is Passiflora ‘Soi Fah’, as per images and details herein.
