'''''Passiflora alata''''' <ref>{{ITIS|ID=506142|taxon=''Passiflora alata''}}</ref>, the '''winged-stem passion flower''', is a [[vine]] which bears an edible type of passion fruit. It is native to the [[Amazon Basin|Amazon]] region of [[Brazil]]. The native peoples living in areas where the plant thrives refer to it as "ouvaca," meaning "red star" due to the appearance of its flower. The fruit it bears is also highly prized by locals and is said to be delectable.

The [[leaves]] are oval or oblong, 10-15 cm long and 1-10 wide. The 7-10 cm (2.8-3.9 in.) wide flower is fragrant. It usually blooms around late summer or early fall, needing full sun exposure. ''P. alata'' attracts [[bees]], [[butterflies]] and [[birds]], and is suitable for growing indoors.

The [[fruit]] is an egg shape, yellow to bright orange, 8-15 cm (3.1-5.9 in) long and 5-10 cm (2-3.9 in) in diameter. It weighs from about 90 up to 300 g. This fruit is cultivated in some parts of [[Brazil]] and is a highly prized fruit there, because of the few blossoms borne on the plant.
