We always knew it as grenadilla in Africa.

Interesting. In Australia, the purple ones are known as passionfruit and
the yellow ones as banana passionfruit.


The latter come from P. mollissima which is too tender to grow outdoors
here. We have it here in a greenhouse and it has fruited but whether it
ripens is another matter.
