Part of this material was distributed as P. caerulea and P.
tucumanensis. The species is only remotely related to P. caerulea,
differing greatly in leaf shape and flower structure. Though belonging
to this complex group of granadillas with 3-lobed leaves and
foliaceous stipules, it is at once distinguished by the capillary
corona rays, and by the petiolar glands being thickest at their base.
Passiflora tucumanensis, P. naviculata, and P. Giberti in general
appearance closely resemble P, tenuifila, but, in addition to having
coarser corona rays, the first two have glandless petioles and the
third has a distinctly plicate operculum.
LOCAL NAME: "Yogo" (Argentina).

Plant glabrous and slightly glaucescent throughout; stem slender,
