Seeds for Africa Indigenous and Exotic Seed Traders Passionfruit Seed - Panama Red - Fruit - Passiflora Edulis var. Flavicarpa - 5 Seed Pack
This sale is for a 5 Seed Pack Of the estimated 500 species of Passiflora, in the family Passifloraceae, only one, P. edulis Sims, has the exclusive designation of passionfruit, without qualification. Within this species, there are two distinct forms, the standard purple, and the yellow, distinguished as P. edulis f. flavicarpa Deg., and differing not only in colour but in certain other features. The passionfruit vine is a shallow-rooted, woody, perennial, climbing by means of tendrils. The alternate, evergreen leaves, deeply 3-lobed when mature, are finely toothed, 7.5-20 cm long, deep-green and glossy above, paler and dull beneath, and, like the young stems and tendrils, tinged with red or purple. A single, fragrant flower, 2 to 3 in (5-7.5 cm) wide, is borne at each node on the new growth. The bloom, clasped by 3 large, green, leaflike bracts, consists of 5 greenish-white sepals, 5 white petals, a fringelike corona of straight, white-tipped rays, rich purple at the base, also 5 stamens with large anthers, the ovary, and triple-branched style forming a prominent central structure. The nearly round or ovoid fruit, 1 1/2 to 3 in (4-7.5 cm) wide, has a tough rind, smooth, waxy, ranging in hue from dark-purple with faint, fine white specks. It is 3 mm thick, adhering to a 6 mm layer of white pith. Within is a cavity more or less filled with an aromatic mass of double-walled, membranous sacs filled with orange-coloured, pulpy juice and lots of dark-brown or black, pitted seeds. The flavour is appealing, musky, guava-like, sub acid to acid. The purple passionfruit is native from southern Brazil through Paraguay to northern Argentina.
