--><span class="statement" id="st-undefined" data-properties=""><b>Stems </b>terete to longitudinally ridged, glabrous or densely hairy. <b>Leaves</b> not or weakly pungent, glabrous or densely hairy, glandular-ciliate; stipules pectinate, 5–6 × 2–4 mm, with glandular bristles or hairs; petiole with glandular bristles or hairs; blade roughly symmetric, 3–10(–12) × 3–8(–10) cm, moderately 3(–5)-lobed, middle lobe much longer than lateral lobes, margins weakly serrulate to nearly entire; abaxial fine veins weakly raised, abaxial nectaries absent. <b>Floral</b> bracts pinnatifid, 20–30 × 15–25 mm, margins serrate to nearly entire, with glandular bristles or hairs. <b>Flowers</b>: floral tube cuplike, 4–6 mm deep; sepals white, 18–25 × 7–9 mm; petals purple to white, 20–25 × 8–10 mm; corona filament whorls 5–6, outer 2 whorls purple basally, white medially, pale purple apically, linear, terete to transversely compressed, 16–20 mm. <b>Berries</b> bright red to crimson, ovoid to broadly ellipsoid, 30–35 × 20–25 mm.</span><!--

|discussion=<p><i>Passiflora ciliata</i> is relatively uncommon and apparently introduced in the flora area and probably is spreading. Nearly all plants in Florida (for example, R. P. Wunderlin and B. F. Hansen 2003) and some in Texas identified as <i>P. foetida</i> are actually <i>P. ciliata</i>. E. P. Killip (1938) noted the presence of <i>P. foetida</i> var. riparia (C. Wright ex Grisebach) Killip in Florida, which we include in <i>P. ciliata</i>.</p><!--
--><p>Plants of this species within the flora area can be either entirely glabrous or densely hairy throughout; otherwise, they are essentially identical morphologically. The description provided here best reflects its variation within our region, and the species is more variable outside of our range. We treat this species broadly to include many members of sect. Dysosmia that have mature leaves unscented to weakly pungent when bruised and that have bright red to scarlet fruits, characteristics that seem to be consistently associated.</p>
