The protected areas of Chapada dos Guimaraes National Park is a treasure trove of plant species! Many of the fruits are edible and even very sweet, including Passifloras. Native range is central Brazil.

The protected areas of Chapada dos Guimaraes National Park is a treasure trove of plant species! The number of plant species is enormous, and I am really saddened by the fact that perhaps 90% of the Cerrado has been destroyed. Native range is central Brazil.

Stinking passionflower (Passiflora foetida)
Very similar to the species found in the Galapagos islands – Stinking passionflower (Passiflora foetida) The resin is impossible for leaf eating insects to traverse, or at least so unpleasant the insect will turn back. This is an efficient pesticide, but when the flower has opened, it is free of such defenses, and can thus […]

Galápagos passion flower (Passiflora vesicaria galapagensis)
I wonder what insects are able to digest or damage this plant which has covered itself in dense hairs and sticky ones in strategic locations and during the vulnerable growth periods. Endemic to Galapagos.
Galápagos passion flower (Passiflora vesicaria galapagensis)
The sticky petals will make a very unpleasant trip for any insects wanting to eat or lay eggs on the ripening fruit. Endemic to Galapagos.
Galápagos passion flower (Passiflora vesicaria galapagensis)
What an incredible shape of the sepals! It seems like a stupendous form of art – but this one is alive and stays so well into the ripening of the fruit, which is kind of unusual. For once I didn’t touch the plant, so I don’t know what the sticky substance smells like or feels […]
Passiflora angusta
Not only was this plant in bloom, but it was also growing fruit. What color is it when ripe? Native range is the Guyana Shield.
Passiflora angusta
I was surprised to see a Passion flower on the savanna, as out in the open there is nothing to climb on for one. I only found this one – about a kilometre downhill from the base camp to Roraima tepui in a dry and rocky location Native range is the Guyana Shield..
