SWEET CALABASH OR WATER LEMON.
GENUS PASSIFLORA MALIFORMIS

Passiflora maliformis, variously known as the Sweet Calabash, Water Lemon, Sweet Cup, Conch Apple or Conch Nut is a vigorous tropical vine that is native to the Carribean, Central and South America. It grows and fruits at cool altitudes up to 1,700 m in South America; in Jamaica, between 150 to 350m.

The vine is woody but slender, climbing to 10 m or more by means of tendrils in the leaf axils, and draping trees, walls and small buildings. The evergreen leaves are ovate-cordate, or ovate-oblong, with a short, recurved point at the apex; fairly thin, light-green; 6 to 15 cm long, with 2 round, flat glands at about the middle of the petiole. The peduncle bears 3 thin, ovate, pointed bracts, to 5 cm in length which enclose the unopened bud and form an ivory-hued background for the fragrant opened flower, which is 5 to 6 cm wide, with keeled, green, maroon-dotted sepals and 5 small petals, greenish-white, dotted with red or purple. The corona is 3-ranked and variegated white, purple and blue.

The fruit is oblate to nearly round-oval, the specific name implying "apple-shaped", being derived from Malus, the apple genus. It is 4.5 to 5 cm in length and 3.5 to 4 cm wide. The rind is yellow to brownish when fully ripe, thin and varies from rather flexible and leathery to hard and brittle. The pulp is grayish or pale orange-yellow, juicy, sweet or subacid and pleasingly aromatic, containing many black, flat, ovate, pitted seeds.

It climbs by means of clinging tendrils and can be kept as a container plant. The long tendrils need lots of support for climbing. It may be grown as a houseplant in a sunny north-facing window. This species is noted for its resistance to pests and diseases that affect its relatives.

Best suited to tropical or sub-tropical gardens it likes plenty of moisture and can handle light frosts. This species is noted for its resistance to pests and diseases that affect its relatives.

This auction is for 20 fresh seed . Item shipped by ordinary mail upon receipt of clear funds. Postage cost of 60 cents. ***Save 50% postage & handling on additional lots that are combined for shipment.
