Passiflora aurantioides is a species of passion flower native to the region from the Maluku Islands, Indonesia, to Papuasia and Queensland, Australia. [1] [2]
The petiolate, 11–12 cm long and 7 cm wide leaves are alternate. [3] The flowers are bisexual. The pedicel is 8–10 mm long. [3] The arillate, obovate, black seeds are 2–3 mm thick. [4]
It was first described by Karl Moritz Schumann as Hollrungia aurantioides K.Schum. of a new monotypic genus Hollrungia K.Schum. in 1887. Later it was transferred to the genus Passiflora L. as Passiflora aurantioides (K.Schum.) Krosnick by Shawn Elizabeth Krosnick in 2009. [1] [5] The type specimen was collected by Max Hollrung in Papua New Guinea. It was destroyed. A neotype, and isoneotype was chosen. [4]
