Looks like passionfruit.
We had acres of this stuff growing on our back fence. Does it have large purple fruit?

The original post hasn't appeared here yet, so I'm piggybacking. + + + Actually the reverse for me. Saw the original post fine (just don't know much about Passiflora spp), but missed Peter Jason's post (he is in a crossposting or troll-responding killfile, as are very many touchy people) PvR |

Thanks for the very informative post!
regards, Sridhar In article , [Peter Jason] wrote... It's a member of the same genus [Passiflora], but isn't one of the passionfruits usually eaten by humans. We had acres of this stuff growing on our back fence. Does it have large purple fruit? Not this one. Yes, it's clearly _Passiflora foetida_ . The bracts dissected into narrow sticky-glandular segments are characteristic of this species. Besides the widespread & weedy P. foetida, its group [subgenus Dysosmia] also contains a few other closely related forms that have been named as separate species, but I doubt these others are introduced into India [they're tropical American, as was P. foetida originally]. http://www.hear.org/pier/passiflora_foetida.htm snip |
