The fruit of this species and the seed sculpturing indicate a close
relationship with Passiflora capsularis, the principal differences
lying in the shape of the leaves and character of the indument. In
P. costaricensis the leaves are longer than broad and are round at
the base; they have a nearly semicircular sinus, formed by relatively
approximate lobes. In P. capsularis the leaves are broader than long,
and are cordate at the base; they have an irregularly shaped sinus,
formed by widely divergent lobes, and a more or less prominent
intermediate lobe. The pubescence of the former is usually much
denser and of much longer hairs than that of the latter.
