Taxonomy

edit

It was first described by Karl Moritz Schumann as Hollrungia aurantioides K.Schum. of a new monotypic genus Hollrungia K.Schum. in 1887. Later it was transferred to the genus Passiflora L. as Passiflora aurantioides (K.Schum.) Krosnick by Shawn Elizabeth Krosnick in 2009.[1][5] The type specimen was collected by Max Hollrung in Papua New Guinea. It was destroyed. A neotype, and isoneotype was chosen.[4]
