  Venkat comments, ''I have come across a Passiflora species in Trupathi, India (13°39'N, 79°25'E). I don't have a better picture of
this one or its fruits. The plant was obviously being grown as
ornamental plant.''

  Thirupathi is one of the temple towns on top of a hill in south India. The local people believe that this flower represent the legend of Mahabharata.

  I have asked many people to ID this. Frank Moser suggests P. incarnata x P. laurifolia. It is very like a hybrid that he did with those parents.
