''Passiflora tarminiana'' is a species of passionfruit. The yellow fruits are edible and their resemblance to small, straight bananas has given it the name banana passionfruit in some countries. It is native to the uplands of tropical South America and is now cultivated in many countries. In Hawaii and New Zealand it is now considered an invasive species. ''P. tarminina'' belongs to the ''Tacsonia'' subgenus of ''Passiflora''. It has been known under a number of different names and was only formally described in 2001. ==Description== ''Passiflora tarminina'' is a high climbing vine with hairy stems and petioles. Where the petioles join the stem it has stipules which are 4-7 by 2–3 mm and are soon deciduous. The leaves are three-lobed and hairy below but usually hairless above. The flowers are solitary and hang downwards. The base of the flower has pale green bracts enclosing a swollen nectary chamber. The floral tube (hypanthium) is 6-8 × 0.7–1 cm and pale green, while the sepals and petals are 3–6 cm long, pink and perpendicular to the floral tube, or reflexed. Fruits taper at both ends, are 10–14 cm long by 3.5-4.5 cm wide and ripen to yellow or light orange. The fruit contain many seeds which are embedded in an edible, orange aril. ''P. tarminina'' is distinguished from ''P. tripartita'' var. ''mollissima'' by a number of features. ''P. tarminina'' has small deciduous stipules while ''P. tripartita'' var. ''mollissima'' has larger, persistent stipules. The sepals and petals in ''P. tarminina'' are perpendicular to the floral tube or are reflexed, whereas they are never so open in ''P. tripartita'' var. ''mollissima''. They are also both much shorter in relation to the length of the floral tube in ''P. tripartita'' var. ''mollissima'' than in ''P. tarminina''.
