Passifloraceae belongs to the order Malpighiales. It is also known as Passion flower family.
The Passifloraceae is a family of flowering plants that includes woody vines, shrubs, and small trees, mostly found in tropical and subtropical regions, especially in the Americas and Africa. These plants often have spiraling tendrils for climbing, simple or lobed leaves, and striking flowers with a unique structure that attracts pollinators. The flowers are usually radially symmetrical and often feature a prominent corona of filaments. Fruits are typically berries or capsules, and many species have edible or ornamental value.
A well-known commercial crop is the passion fruit (Passiflora edulis), cultivated for its aromatic, sweet-tart fruit used in juices, desserts, and flavorings. The plant is also appreciated for its decorative flowers and is grown in warm climates around the world.
