Passiflora tarminiana (Banana Passionfruit) is a
vigorous climber with large, trilobed leaves and tendrils. It has
become naturalised in a number of warm, frost free, relatively wet
places (e.g. near the coast on King Island, and in places near the
north and east coasts). The flowers are large, conspicuous and pink.
The fruit is yellow and elongated. The contents are edible (and
passionfruit flavoured) but slimy and less palatable (to my taste)
than black passionfruit. |
