The petiolate, 11–12 cm long and 7 cm wide leaves are alternate. [2]
The flowers are bisexual. The pedicel is 8–10 mm long. [2] The arillate, obovate, black seeds are 2–3 mm thick. [3]
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] [4]
