Passiflora platyloba

Passiflora platyloba is a climbing plant. The stem is stout and cylindrical. The leaf stems are 6–7 centimetres (2.4–2.8 in) long. The leaves are suborbicular to ovate, 10–14 centimetres (3.9–5.5 in) long, and 12–18 centimetres (4.7–7.1 in) wide. The flower is enclosed by bracts, which are 5–6 centimetres (2.0–2.4 in) long, and 3–4 centimetres (1.2–1.6 in) wide. The flower stems are solitary, and 6–7 centimetres (2.4–2.8 in) long. The flower is purple, 4–5 centimetres (1.6–2.0 in) wide, and has a tube around 1 centimetre (0.39 in) long. The sepals are oblong-lanceolate, 1.8–2 centimetres (0.71–0.79 in) long, around 0.8 centimetres (0.31 in) wide, and slightly fleshy. The petals are linear-lanceolate, 1.5–1.7 centimetres (0.59–0.67 in) long, and around 0.5 centimetres (0.20 in) wide. The flower has coronas with several series of filaments. Passiflora platyloba resembles Passiflora seemannii, though the former has longer bracts.

Passiflora platyloba is native to the wet tropical biome of Colombia, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, south-east Mexico, Nicaragua, and Panamá.
