Passiflora tarminiana, a new cultivated species of Passiflora subgenus Tacsonia (Passifloraceae)
The new species Passiflora tarminiana differs from its closest relative by the character combination of very small acicular stipules and large reflexed petals and sepals. This species has escaped detection despite being widely cultivated in South America. Naturalized populations, particularly in Hawai'i, have created problems for conservation of the native flora. In Colombia it is more frequently adopted in industrial cultivation because of its unusual vigor and resistance to fungal diseases.
