Editor's Note

Some resources note caution us to assume that all fresh Passiflora foliage is toxic, as well as the rinds and shells. The foliage of many Passiflora, even when undamaged, also often has a pungent bitter smell to warn us of the toxicity.

Most species of passiflora produce cyanide in all their parts as a protection against insects and animals eating them. The young developing ovary and immature fruit often have the highest concentration.

We tend to err on the side of caution in PlantFiles, and the danger notation in the details above is to warn gardeners, parents and pet owners to look further for more information.
