is that the hairy calyx which remains persistant? It doesnot appear as the rind of fruit. Photos are beautiful Madhuri --- On Wed, 17/8/11, raghu ananth <ragh...@yahoo.com> wrote:

This is Passiflora for sure but not sure whether is is P. foetida.

because the later is known to have a foetid (bad) smell. So one

needs to check the smell of the fruits. But the leaves surely 

looks like P foetida. 

The hairy thing around the fruit is not calyx but bract.

Passiflora foetida for sure.
Another high value medicinal plant.
If someone wants to work on this, I can give one idea that this plant
to me seems to have some trapping mechanism for insects and hence an
insectivorous plant. In the morning you can see some tiny insects
stuck to its glandular hairs.
Those who want to work may check the chemical constituent of the
liquid on the glandular hairs. If it has anything like chitinase then
for sure this is insectivorous.

Yes really good information. I will try to check

Thanks Pankaj Ji

[Pankaj Kumar]

Welcome sir. I myself wanted to work on this, but could never get an
opportunity. I worked on the foliar aspects of Passiflora and that was
one of my first scientific article ever published. Hence I have an
affinity for passifloras :)

Search in nurseries in Delhi for sure you will get more varieties.

Yes this is Passiflora foetida. I never knew this plant is having medicinal values. This climber is quite a weed in rural Tamil nadu, spreading all over the short canopy.

Yes Pankaj sir, I read your stomatal study to classify Passiflora spp.
