Passiflora biflora Lam.; has bilobate leaves, with pointed apices, in the shape of a crescent. The petiole is situated halfway along the lower margin. It has leaves with an uncommon shape, decorated by two series of leaf glands running along the lateral veins. The stems have a pentagonal cross-section and are glossy, black or very dark green. The flowers have a white corolla and a yellow corona. They are followed by fruits of a purple so dark they appear black. All these features make P. biflora one of the most beautiful of the Decaloba subgenus.Its name originates from its characteristic production of flowers in pairs which, although elegant, only reach 3 cm in diameter. They consist of slightly retroflexed white petals and sepals. The corona of filaments is, for the most part, a nice strong yellow. Flowering occurs at the apex of the stems which, as they grow, emit coupled leaves and buds. The plant continues to bloom as it grows, keeping the flowers in sync two by two.
