Passiflora vesicaria var. vesicaria :: Ghodbunder fort :: February 7, 2009

[Dinesh Valke]

Ghodbunder fort  Maharashtra Date: February 7, 2009 ... Altitude: about 50 m (165 ft) asl

Passiflora vesicaria var. vesicaria   Many thanks to Martin Wettges for correcting / suggesting the ID ... iNaturalist. He points to a publication which is widely recognised, that considers most specimens formerly known as Passiflora foetida in the Indian ocean region as Passiflora vesicaria var. vesicaria. I do not have access to this article; requesting those with access, may please read and validate the fact.

Regards. Dinesh

Hello Garg ji,

I am retaining the ID of Passiflora foetida L. for this observation.

I do not see distribution of Passiflora vesicaria var. vesicaria in the Indian subcontinent as per POWO.

Regards.

Based on the discussion in the post ... https://groups.google.com/g/indiantreepix/c/5MV-SdNQrRo/m/EwNJANDrAAAJ ... let me go with the ID suggested by Martin Wettges in iNaturalist.

Regards.

My feeling is that as POWO 1 and POWO 2 and CoL are still not updating their databases despite POWO mentioning it in its references, we may keep our observations as Passiflora foetida only for the time being.
