Passiflora foetida

''Passiflora foetida'' (common names: wild maracuja, bush passion fruit,〔(Alegre’s exotic culinary discoveries By Aissa dela Cruz )〕 marya-marya, wild water lemon, stinking passionflower,〔 love-in-a-mist or running pop〔) is a species of passion flower that is native to the southwestern United States (southern Texas and Arizona), Mexico, the Caribbean, Central America, and much of South America. It has been introduced to tropical regions around the world,〔 such as Southeast Asia and Hawaii.〔( Food Standards: ''Passiflora foetida'' )〕 It is a creeping vine like other members of the genus, and yields an edible fruit. The specific epithet, ''foetida'', means "stinking" in Latin and refers to the strong aroma emitted by damaged foliage.
==Description==

The stems are thin and wiry, covered with minute sticky yellow hairs. Older stems become woody. The leaves are three- to five-lobed and viscid-hairy. When crushed, these leaves give off a pungent odor that some people consider unpleasant. The flowers are white to pale cream coloured, about 5–6 cm diameter. The fruit is globose, 2–3 cm diameter, yellowish-orange to red when ripe, and has numerous black seeds embedded in the pulp; the fruit are eaten and the seeds dispersed by birds
''P. foetida'' is able to trap insects on its bracts, which exude a sticky substance that also contains digestive enzymes. This minimizes predation on young flowers and fruits. Whether or not it gains nourishment from its prey is uncertain, and it is currently considered a protocarnivorous plant.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Carnivorous Plants / Insectivorous Plants )
This passion flower tolerates arid ground, but favours wet areas. It is known to be an invasive species in some areas.〔 This plant is also a widely grown perennial climber, and has been used in traditional medicine.
