Quadrangulairs, Decaisneana, or Alata?
I am trying to figure out what kinds of cuttings I have.
They all come from the same plant, and when they were given to me they had a single old flower.
I am trying to figure out if it is P. quadrangularis, decaisneana, or alata. So I found a chart posted on
www.passionflow.co.uk/tenpassiflora1.htm that would help me figure which one it was. If I where to base it on petiole glands it would be decaisneana, since most of the petioles have 4 petiole glands, with an occasional 5 or 6.
However, the stipules indicate that it is alata.
Then to make things more complicated, the flower had no fragrance and the ovary was very big and shaped more like the Giant Granadilla fruit as opposed to the more circular shaped fruit of alata and decaisneana. The ovary was about 2 centimeters long and 1 centimeter wide, which seems to indicate quadrangularis.
The person who gave me the cuttings said it was quadrangularis, but he wasn't even sure. Since the flower dried up months ago, I only have the cuttings to go by.
So, should I go with quadrangularis, decaisneana or alata?
I would really appreciate any help.
