Passiflora cuneata Willd. (Passifloraceae) is a native of Venezuela and Colombia. A local geographical variant of it, from the state of Merida, Venezuela, is illustrated and named as ‘Miguel Molinari’; although now extinct in the wild, this variant is maintained in cultivation at the British National Collection of Passiflora near Bristol, England, and has also been distributed to other collections. Its relationships, distribution, ecology, conservation status and cultivation requirements are discussed and a full description is provided.
