In herbaria P. amethystina is distinguished from P. violacea only
with difficulty, though perhaps in a living state the two are readily
separable. Certainly, from the illustrations in the Botanical Register
and the Botanical Magazine the two would never be confused.
Passiflora amethystina has shorter and slenderer peduncles, and
smaller stipules and sepal awns, and the corona is in fewer ranks, the
filaments of the two outer ones being coarser.
