Passiflora biflora |
Passiflora biflora, the twoflowered passionflower, is a vine with paired peduncles and flowers up to 3.5 cm (1.4 in) wide. It is native to the New World from Mexico to Colombia and Venezuela. [1] In Florida, P. biflora has been classified by the Exotic Pest Plant Council as a non-native species that has the "potential to disrupt native plant communities." [2] [3]
Van den Bergh 1994 and Ochse & van den Brink 1980 report the flowers are eaten in Indonesia and Malaysia. [4]: 34
