I have a couple seedlings. It is actually p.edulis edulis.

venturabananas

Right. This is standard scientific naming convention. You give the name of the organism, in this case Passiflora edulis, followed by the name of the person who named the species, in this case Sims. Any cultivar of Passiflora edulis should technically be followed by Sims. This naming convention is now ignored in lots of scientific writing, presumably to shorten the writing.

I don't know for sure what this is, but the leaves resemble some types of passiflora I've seen you folks post photos of. It is a 'volunteer' plant that is growing in the back center of my garden plot. I would never have planted any there so I know it is not my doing. I'm still trying to locate a photo online of the leaves to compare. Unfortunately it has been hit with my weed-eater, but once I saw the leaves and recognized it as a probable passiflora type, I am now protecting it until I see just what it is. We have P. edulis and P. suberosa growing all over the place, but this is not one of those. I've been told that P. quadrangularis grows here, but I have no idea what the leaves look like. It would be just too much of a coincidence to be that one. Sunfish - I'm counting on you, but I'm still looking in the meantime. Mahalo.

It isn't p.quadrangularis

Is it okay to post your pic on another forum for ID ?

Maybe this one,\\

Sure, whatever you need to do. I appreciate the help.

I'd say that is probably what it is, although I do see some variation in the leaf shape in the pictures on-line. That appears to be due to the size of the plant; the older vines have a more rounded/ovoid shape in their leaves. Bloom seems to be small, but not as small as the P. suberosa, and about the same light green color, but with a dark circular area. I have not seen any blooms around my garden that look like it yet, but at least I know what to look for now.

Tks again.

Two people have said a young P. suberosa

Passiflora suberosa

If they knew that P. suberosa grows all over this place, and therefore is present to compare and eliminate as a possibility, they would not have guessed that. The P. suberosa leaves look like bird's feet, with the center lobe being as long as, or even longer than, the side lobes. On this one, the center lobe is almost missing, and on some larger plants is completely absorbed in the rest of the leaf. I think you have it pegged already.

I would have to admit though, that due to the very small size of the bloom, and its very close resemblence to P. suberosa, I'd be willing to bet that they would be able to be crossed with each other - buy who would want to? I don't see much appeal to the blooms based on the relative lack of size and color.

I think I saw one with bright orange, oval-shaped fruit growing on the side of the road. I'm tempted to pick a few and gather seeds.

I collected some fruit from it today. There were no open flower buds on the plant, but lots of both mature and immature fruit. I'm going to try germinating it. I'm thinking Passiflora caerulea. What do you think? Also, what medium should I try germinating the seeds in?

It is caerulea very easy to germinate.
