Passifloraceae   - Passion Flower Family
The family Passifloraceae includes 500 species in 20 genera, of which the only succulent plants are in the are in the genus Adenia. The remaining species include climbing vines and shrubs, of which Passion flowers are cultivated for flowers and fruit (granadilla).
 
Cultivation: Adenia are tender plants requiring heat and full sun. Plants should be watered sparingly outside their growing season but water can be increased when the plants are in active growth. Compost should be gritty and free-draining, especially so for species with fleshy roots. Some species of Adenia are used by bushmen as sources of hunting poisons and all species should be regarded as poisonous.
