Description
Passiflora, known also as the passion flowers or passion vines, is a genus of about 500 species of flowering plants, the namesakes of the family Passifloraceae. The genus Passiflora is originally from South America.
The Passion in passion flower refers to the passion of Jesus in Christian theology. The appearance of the flower, like a crown of thorns, led Spanish colonists to call it Passion Fruit; its structure pentarradial received a theological interpretation, with five petals and five sepals symbolizing the ten apostles (twelve, minus Judas Iscariot and Pedro), while the five stamens represent the five stigmas.
Finally, the three pistils correspond to the nails of the cross.
