Passiflora boenderi J.M.MacDougal is is appreciated for the extraordinary beauty of the bilobate leaves with their beautiful intense green colour, furrowed by two yellow lines running along the external veins, and flanked by point-like leaf glands of the same colour. The striking green-yellow contrast is accentuated by the slight brilliance of the leaf blade. The aesthetic effect, produced by the precision with which these yellow bands have been drawn and the care with which they are placed at a regular distance and in line, truly draws the eye. The leaf's geometry is also interesting. The pointed lobes are deep and perfect, almost cut out within an ellipse form which a wedge has been removed at one end. The symmetry seems deliberate and sought. The leaves, up to 10 cm long, grow in pairs, doubling the overall scenography.
