'''''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.
