|discussion=<p><i>Passiflora multiflora</i> can produce hundreds to thousands of flowers at once, often in several fragrant flushes per season. It has perhaps the smallest flowers of any passionflower, and the androgynophore is nearly absent. A glabrous form of this otherwise densely hairy species has been collected outside the flora area.</p><!--
--><p><i>Passiflora</i> miniata Vanderplank (often misidentified as <i>P. coccinea</i> Aublet) will key to <i>P. multiflora</i> based upon superficial similarity of their leaves. However, P. miniata has serrated leaf margins and large, red flowers.</p><!--
--><p><i>Passiflora multiflora</i> is listed as endangered in Florida.</p>
