○ Latin name: Passiflora incarnata ○ Dosage: 230 mg per capsule Passiflora incarnata, also known as purple passionflower, is a climbing plant native to North and South America. It is commonly cultivated for its showy flowers and its consumption in food supplements. The flowers of Passiflora incarnata are large and showy, with dark purple petals and cone-shaped stamens. The leaves are dark green and are usually webbed with small teeth along the edges. ֍ There is a Native American legend about Passionflower that tells how the flower acquired its name. According to this legend, the plant was named by the Spanish missionaries who saw in it a symbol of the passion of Christ. The missionaries believed that the parts of the plant resembled Jesus' crown of thorns, the nails of the cross, the three nails under the leaves representing the three nails that were used to attach Jesus' hands and feet to the cross, and the five stamens representing the five wounds of Jesus. Thus, they gave the plant the name "Passion Flower" (Passion Flower) or Passiflora.
