passiflora edulis?

[explorers5000]

hi. the herb in the photograph is being sold as “passiflora edulis” in turkey.

doing a google image search for passiflora edulis, i was not able to find anything close to this twisted shape shown in the photograph.

so i have the following two questions:

1- do you think this is passiflora edulis?

2- if it is indeed passiflora edulis, is it as effective as passiflora incarnata for its effects on sleep?

thank you.

That image doesn’t look like any Passiflora I’ve ever seen. In the Passiflora, the flowers and leaves are the medicine. THe herb should look like a dried version of this rather than rotini.

I haven’t used P. edulis but the medicinal properties seem to be similar to the one I use P. incarnata.
