Passiflora princeps

Passiflora princeps, the red passion flower, is a species of flowering plant in the family Passifloraceae, native to Brazil. It is an evergreen climber growing to 5 m (16 ft), with simple or 3-lobed leaves to 10 cm (4 in) long, and vivid red flowers borne in summer. The flowers are 12 cm (5 in) in diameter, with purple and white coronas. They are followed by oblong green fruits.[1]

This species is widely known under it's former epithet racemosa, which is now considered a synonym. Loddiges published P. princeps first in January 1818, while the epithet P. racemosa was published only in February 1818. Therefore, according to the rules of botanical nomenclature, P. princeps has priority over the later P. racemosa.[2]

The former specific epithet racemosa indicates that the flowers are borne in racemes.[3]

With a minimum temperature requirement of 13 °C (55 °F), in temperate regions this plant must be grown under glass.[1] It has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.[4][5]
