'''Passifloraceae''' is a [[family (biology)|family]] of [[flowering plants]], containing about 530 species classified in around 18 genera. They include [[tree]]s, [[shrub]]s, [[liana]]s and climbing plants, and are mostly found in tropical regions .
The family takes its name from the [[passion flower]] genus (''Passiflora'') which includes the edible [[passion fruit]] (''Passiflora edulis'') as well as garden plants such as [[Maypop]] and [[Running Pop]].
The former [[Cronquist system]] of classification placed this family in the order [[Violales]], but under more modern classifications systems such as that proposed by the [[Angiosperm Phylogeny Group]], this is absorbed into the [[Malpighiales]].
