Passiflora bicuspidata
(Murucuja/Tacsonia)
Bogota, Eastern Cordillera, Colombia 1871
Min 4°C 40°F or lower Passiflora bicuspidata is a very rare cool mountain species found between 2300-3200 metres in Choachí, Sibaté, Zipaquirá, Iguaque & Virolín on the Region Cundiboyacense plateau. It is thought to be a link between Murucuja & Tacsonia. It does not like the heat or too much sun but enjoys high humidity. This young plant, a cutting from one grown from seed & kindly supplied by Henk Wouters, is tiny with about 50 leaves to date but with the biggest being only up to 3/4'' or 2cm long. All the leaves are a little pale. |
