|discussion=<p>Leaf and stipule variegation, although rare within subg. <i>Passiflora</i>, is occasionally found in <i>Passiflora pallens</i>, and may serve to camouflage plants from predators in the dappled shade of their habitats. Listed as endangered in Florida, in the flora area it is found only in the southernmost part of the state.</p>
