There are over 400 species of Passiflora, mostly from tropical and warm parts of America. Only three species, including the well-known Passiflora caerulea, are suitable for growing outside in Britain, and then only in mild areas. All other passion flowers require glasshouse protection in temperate countries but can of course be grown outside in subtropical and tropical areas.
Passiflora racemosa was named by the Portuguese botanist Félix da Silva Avellar Brotero (1744-1828). It is native to Brazil and has long been a favourite plant for growing in warm conservatories in temperate climates. The first part of volume 12 of the Transactions of the Linnean Society of London, in which the name Passiflora racemosa was first published, probably appeared in 1818.
