Talk:Passiflora incarnata

message: Carpenter bees are at least as important pollinators of Passiflora incarnata as bumblebees, and some hobbyists who grow the native fruit place a moist old log near maypop vines to induce carpenter bees to nest nearby.  The larva of the spectacular gulf fritillary butterfly feed exclusively on various species of passionflower such as Passiflora incarnata. Nenamldu 02:36, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

message: In the Description section it thrives in "disturbed" areas while the rest suggests undisturbed which makes sense. Anyone? Manytexts (talk) 03:32, 4 November 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: The maypop occurs in thickets, disturbed areas, near riverbanks, and near unmowed pastures, roadsides, and railroads. It thrives in areas with lots of available sunlight. It is not found in shady areas beneath a forest canopy.
It would make more sense for it to say "undisturbed areas," as this would be more consistent with "unmowed pastures." Ileanadu (talk) 22:14, 24 September 2014 (UTC)

text: I think disturbed areas is correct, although poor phrasing.  It refers to the fact that it often shows up at the transition between sunny areas (a pasture) and shady areas (the woods at the edge).  It also does well when nearby trees are felled for example.  Can anyone come up with a better way to put this?  a13ean (talk) 21:03, 25 September 2014 (UTC)

While this does not discount the value of P. incarnata, it does seem that a BZF moiety is not the chemical source of the plant's effects.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.172.227.31 (talk) 01:13, 18 October 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I just read the Dhawan's Paper that mentioned it and I came to wikipedia to see if it was mentioned and I saw your comment. Dhawan's Paper is one of the first to be found when searching for "passiflora" on Google Scholar. Maybe we should mention in the WP Article that Dhawan found BZF in their study and that other studies could not find it? –Arthurfragoso (talk) 16:16, 15 February 2019 (UTC)

message: The Cherokee word for P. incarnata is uwaga, not ocoee.  The name Ocoee came about in this way:  The Cherokee locative form of uwaga is uwagahi, pronounced roughly oo-wa-GAH-hee, which means "place where there are uwaga." People who spoke English and not Cherokee distorted this into Ocoee.  John Wayah (talk) 20:35, 13 September 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks. That gives me something to work on for a while since we are only linking to sources that say "ocoee" is the word itself both here and on Ocoee, Florida. —Soap— 05:48, 24 July 2022 (UTC)

message: I applied the project med template - but my opinion is that only the medicinal section should be part of the project. The medical information should follow the MEDRS guidelines, but these guidelines won't be applied to the rest of the article, at least by me. Again, Best Regards,

message: This sentence from the Culinary use section doesn't make sense:
"It can be used as a fresh substitute for its commercially grown South American relative, Passiflora edulis; both belong to the same subgenus within their species and have similar sized fruit."
I don't know if "subgenus within their species" should be replaced by "genus" or "subgenus" though.  Whoever wrote it must have meant subgenus, but that statement would need a reference.  No subgenus information appears on the pages of either species.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 147.188.254.71 (talk) 16:29, 6 March 2019 (UTC)
