Passiflora incarnata, commonly known as passionflower, is a fast-growing perennial vine with climbing or trailing stems. It has large, intricate flowers with prominent styles and stamens. Extrafloral glands in Passifloraceae species have aroused the interest of many researchers because of their wide morphological diversity. Hence this present work analysed the foliar trichomes on Passiflora incarnata. Scanning electron microscopy analysis was carried out. Phytochemical screening was also studied which are of taxonomic significance. Rich source of saponins, glycosides and proteins. The major phytoconstituents of this plant is Passicol, a polyacetylenic compound.
