Ecomujeres.....que es esta planta?


I found this plant near the beach growing in the sand. The flower looks like a mini passion flower.
Any ideas what it is?

I agree tron. The leaves look so different from the passion fruit vine that we have which, I guess, is Passiflora edulis.
Thanks

Mexitron is probably right, but

P. Palmeri is also found from Bay of LA down to the Cape. It is the largest of the Passiflora found in Baja with flowers 5 - 7 cm wide. Its leaves are viscous, glutinous. P. arida has flowers 2.5 - 3.5 cm wide and the plant is not viscous. Touching one of the viscous ones (related to P. foetida) feels oily.

Be nice to see a better close-up photo. I used to have a collection of the endemic Baja Passiflora, but freezes took them out. Need to start collecting them again. Little fruits are somewhat edible (but not like P. edulis-not native).

Yes sorry about the quality of the photo. By the time I got it onto my computer and realized how fuzzy it was, the flower had closed. It really is the size of a one peso coin. Maybe another will open and I can get a better shot.

I saw this passion fruit flower out on Guardian Angel Island in March, complete with the neat spider.

Probably "Pesoflores... make that Passiflora palmeri" :lol: but might be an island subspecies or endemic?

Sure was pretty and covered in fruit.
