|discussion=<p>Perhaps the most widespread species of the genus endemic in the flora area, <i>Passiflora lutea</i> is probably becoming rarer at its geographic limits because of habitat loss. It is absent from southernmost Texas, and is therefore not sympatric with the similar <i>P. filipes</i>.</p><!--
--><p><i>Passiflora lutea</i> is our only native species, and one of very few in the genus, that has hypogeal seed germination. It is also extensively rhizomatous, forming rhizomes even as small seedlings. Very cold-hardy, it is able to thrive in cultivation far north of its natural range. The plants are shade-tolerant, but those growing in the open can occasionally form dense masses. The leaves often turn bright yellow in autumn.</p>
