    It looks like a passie but I don't know which one.

    Some of the foliage (far right) looks kind of like biflora but I can't tell if that's part of the vine with the V shaped foliage

    Yes the foliage to the far right is also of the same vine. hmmm I wonder what it is?

    It is certainly a Passiflora subgenus Decaloba - which one I don't know. It can be very difficult to tell without close up pictures of leaves and flowers from all angles. The two lobe leaf shape is very unusual in flowering plants.

    Looks very much like a p. standleyii I had once. Deep V boomerang leaves are almost a perfect match. You'd need a flower to be certain. Where was this found?

    Siam is located in the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago.

    Huh? Trinidad and Tobago are in the Caribbean. Siam is now called Thailand...

    Siam is his name not his location.

    I found that passiflora growing along a roadside, there is alot of it, but no flowers or fruit.

    These leaves look exactly like my variegated batwing Passion vine aka PASSIFLORA CORIACEA. Google it and see if that's what you have.

    mmmh thats 100 percent no coriacea!
    Looks more like Passiflora boenderi...

  • jblaschke

    Absolutely not coriacea (aka sexocellata). There are several decaloba types that sport the boomerang-shape leaves, but coriacea isn't one of them.

    I agree that it's not coriacea as well. Not sure about boenderi. Even though the shape is right I don't think it has the egg mimicry spots (whatever they are called).

    I agree, its not Coriacea, and it doesnt have any egg spots. Hopefully the small plants i have will grow, and i will get pics of the flowers and fruits.

    Looks like P. Tuberosa to me. I can't quite tell from the photos, but do some of the leaves have a purplish tinge to it? I'll find some photos and post them soon so we can compare.

    Alright here are the photos that I promised. My research concludes that Passiflora Tuberosa does in fact grow in Trinidad. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong. I think that is your plant...

    Photo 1 is P. Boenderi, for comparison:

    Photo 2 is P.Tuberosa:

    Here is the flower from P.Tuberosa last season:

    Hey passionlove,

    I have a question!
    Where do you get the Passiflora tuberosa?

    I love her flowers...
    Here in germany we have a other really cool Decaloba that called Passiflora Decaloba spec. Peru!
    She have wonderful flowers for a Decaloba.

    Sry 4 my bad English!

    Hello passifreak,

    I actually got the P.tuberosa at Butterfly World here in Florida last year. It is quite the rare find.
    I would love to see some photos of P.Peru if you have any.

    Hi,

    I haven't one but I have a link...

    Oh, I like that flower, Passifreak!! I want it. It looks a bit like a P. bicornis or P. standleyi.

    I would agree with Passionlove, that the closest thing the mystery plant seems to resemble is my P. tuberosa, but it is so hard to tell without flowers. Please update us as it grows and blooms.
