Description

P. lutea is a perennial forb/herb/vine of the Passifloraceae family that is native to North America.[1]It climbs with axillary, simple tendrils. Its leaves are alternate, simple, and stipulate. The flowers are actinomorphic, solitary, ar fascicled in the leaf axils. There are five sepals, five petals, and a conspicuous corona. There are 5 stamens, 3 styles, capitate stigmas, and a 3-locular ovary. The sepals are 5-20 mm long, green, pale yellow, or white. The petals are 5-11 mm long, greenish-yellow to white, and the berry is 7-12 mm long. The petiole lacks paired glands, while the leaf blade lacks laminar glands.[2]

Distribution

P. lutea is found throughout the southeastern United States; from Florida north to Pennsylvania, and west to Texas and Kansas.[1]

Ecology

Habitat

P. lutea has little tolerance for drought conditions and a low tolerance for fire. It is extremely tolerant of shade.[1]

Common environments for P. lutea include woodlands, forests, thickets, and maritime forests.[3]

Specimens have been recovered from edges of maritime hammocks, disturbed roadsides near woodlands, on bases of slopes, and pine-oak woodlands.[4] P. lutea responds negatively to agricultural-based soil disturbance in South Carolina coastal plain communities. This marks it as an indicator species for remnant woodland.[5]

Phenology

P lutea flowers from May through September and fruits from August through October.[6]

Use by animals

Birds will use the species for food.[1]

Conservation and Management

P. lutea is considered a weed in Illinois but is labeled as endangered in Pennsylvania.[1]
