Passiflora foetida for sure. Another high value medicinal plant. If someone wants to work on this, I can give one idea that this plant to me seems to have some trapping mechanism for insects and hence an insectivorous plant. In the morning you can see some tiny insects stuck to its glandular hairs. Those who want to work may check the chemical constituent of the liquid on the glandular hairs. If it has anything like chitinase then for sure this is insectivorous. Pankaj
