Passiflora vitifolia (Introduced)

Does this variety fruit?:
Does this variety of the Passion Flower fruit?

Your photograph is a proof that the plant flowers. The question you might be asking is : where(in which place)?

Passiflora coccinea

I Think Passiflora vitifolia

I am sorry. This is not P.coccinea. This ornamental red passionflower is prolific in flowering. But no fruits are seenb. Commomly available in Pune Nursderies. Grows well in Kokan climate also.

At least I have not seen for last 5-6 yrs.

My understanding from the question is whether the plant/species produces fruit?
If this is the question my answer is that it differs from place to place.
Studies on the pollination biology of this plant (not sure about the species) is going on in Karnataka.
It is found that in some places there is no fruit set at all. No clue, so far, why it is so.
If it is (this species/variety) a recent introduction to any new place it takes sometime to start producing fruits as these plants need specific pollinators to effect pollination.

I have seen this type of passionflower in a nursery and did not see any fruits. Only flower. The nursery lady told me that it is grown from cutting and it will take at least two years for the new planted one to flower.

This was flowering profusely for a whole year, but not a single fruit. The regular purple passion flower gives lots of fruit tho in Bangalore.

Incase you are interested.

Passiflora vitifolia is native to south american countries from Brazil to Nicaragua…
Pollinators are BATS, HUMMNINGBIRDS and BUMBLE BEES… among others…
these flying things may not have discovered your plant… or liked it..
there are many regional differences…. or the cutting sent to India may have been sterile….
One could do manual hand pollination and see if its true or not, since its a big flower and stamen and stigma are right out there for you to see and touch…..
just like I have never seen a Quis qualis bear fruits in Calcutta… though in Myanmar it is a regular happening… and our Quis qualis has its lineage in Myanmar… and in Chinese medicine its an important item… do not know what pollinators are needed or did Myanmar gardener/horticulturists who originally sent in the specimen
to Royal Botanical gardens in Calcutta sent in duds??? knowingly???
no body has answers… I do not have a quis qualis of my own at this point otherwise I would definitley try awhat I just preached….HA HA …

I have never seen any fruit on purple variety right from my childhood. If possible can you send these fruits photos sometime.

Sent you a picture. I call this variety purple! Will send you a pic of the fruit when it appears.

I have noticed this climber in several places at Coimbatore with flowers only, no fruiting was noticed.
Propagation through cuttings only (As one of the efi member suggested).

The question still remains………………………….
Both Passiflora coccinea and Passiflora vitifolia produce red coloured similar looking flowers. Whether the given plant has grape like leaves to call it P. vitifolia ?

This is Passiflora vitifolia as per images and details herein.
