+Passiflora alata, Dry. St. winged: lvs. glabrous, oval to ovate,
+somewhat cordate at base, the margin often undulate but otherwise
+entire, the petiole with 2 pairs of glands: fl. 3-4 in. across, very
+fragrant, the interior of the sepals and petals carmine; corona
+nearly or quite as long as the envelopes, the numerous filaments
+particolored with red, purple, and white: fr. yellow, ovoid- pointed,
+about 5 in. long, very fragrant and one of the most edible. S. Amer.
+B.M. 66. G.C. III. 15:19; 22:449-51; 43:187. R.B. 20, p. 104 (see
+R.H. 1902. pp. 287-9, for taxonomic discussion).—An excellent old
+species, ripening its fr. in midsummer. It is very variable, and is
+perhaps one form of a polymorphous species including the granadilla.
+P. phaenicea, Lindl. (B.R. 1603), P. brasiliana, Desf., P. oviformis,
+Roem., P. latifolia, DC., P. mauritiana, Thouars, and P. mascarensis,
+Presl., are all considered to be forms of this species. P.
+Lawsoniana, Hort., not Mast., is a hybrid of P. alata and P.
+racemosa: lvs. oblong-oval, somewhat peltate, entire: fls. 3-4 in.
+across, brownish inside, the corona with filaments in several series.
