About Passiflora biflora Lam.

Passiflora biflora Lam., commonly known as the twoflowered passionflower, is a vine that produces paired peduncles and flowers that grow up to 3.5 cm (1.4 inches) wide. It is native to the New World, with a native range covering Mexico, Colombia, Venezuela, and the West Indies. In Florida, the Exotic Pest Plant Council has classified P. biflora as a non-native species that has the potential to disrupt native plant communities. In addition to its characteristic paired flowers, another distinct feature of this species is an entirely yellow corona. According to 1994 research by Van den Bergh and 1980 research by Ochse & van den Brink, the flowers of Passiflora biflora are eaten in Indonesia and Malaysia.
