Passiflora vitifolia is native to south american countries from Brazil to Nicaragua... Pollinators are BATS, HUMMNINGBIRDS and BUMBLE BEES... among others...
these flying things may not have discovered your plant... or liked it.. there are many regional differences.... or the cutting sent to India may have been sterile.... One could do manual hand pollination and see if its true or not, since its a big flower and stamen and stigma are right out there for you to see and touch..... just like I have never seen a Quis qualis bear fruits in Calcutta... though in Myanmar it is a regular happening... and ourt Quis qualis has its lineage in Myanmar... and in Chinese medicine its an important item... do not know what pollinators are needed or did Myanmar gardener/horticulturists who originally sent in the specimen to Royal Botanical gardens in Calcutta sent in duds??? knowingly??? no body has answers... I do not have a quis qualis of my own at this point otherwise I would definitley try awhat I just preached....HA HA ...
