$6.60
Description
Passiflora aurantia is an Australian native passionfruit species with beautiful orange flowers (aurantius meaning orange coloured). Found in the eastern parts of Queensland and north-eastern NSW, and also in PNG, Malaysia and some of the Pacific Islands. Fruit is reported to be inedible, I have tried it and its not that great but not inedible. Probably of use for passionfruit breeding or use as a grafting stock as it is a dought hardy species. Two varieties exist, var. aurantia and var. pubescens, which are differentiated by the presence or absence of fine hairs and glands on the petiole.
