Traditional use
Passiflora incarnata, purple passionflower or maypop, is a vine native to North America. According to the USDA, the Houma, the Cherokee and other Native American peoples used it for food, drink and medicine; in 1612 Captain Smith reported that Native Americans in Virginia planted it for its fruit. The Cherokee name of the vine, uwa’ga, survives in Ocoee (Uwagâ’hi, “apricot place”), a former settlement on the Ocoee River in Tennessee (Mooney 1900).
In Europe its aerial parts are described in the European Pharmacopoeia and featured in the British Herbal Pharmacopoeia (1976); in 2014 the European Medicines Agency (HMPC committee) adopted a traditional herbal medicinal product monograph on them. That framework concerns authorised medicines, not collector’s items. The aerial parts contain mainly C-glycosyl flavonoids (orientin, isoorientin, vitexin, isovitexin, schaftoside, isoschaftoside).
| Known compounds | Six main C-glycosyl flavonoids (orientin, isoorientin, schaftoside, isoschaftoside, vitexin, isovitexin), up to about 2.5% of the dried plant. |
|---|---|
| Traditional use | Houma, Cherokee and other Native American peoples: food, drink and medicinal plant (USDA); later use in Europe documented by the EMA. |
| Where the use comes from | North America (Cherokee name uwa’ga, preserved in the place name Ocoee, Tennessee); later entry into the European Pharmacopoeia and the British Herbal Pharmacopoeia. |
| State of research | EMA/HMPC monograph (2014) for traditional medicines; it is not a claim for a collector’s item. No health claim is authorised in the EU for the plant as a foodstuff. |
The species
Carl Linnaeus named Passiflora incarnata in Species Plantarum in 1753. The World Checklist of Vascular Plants of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, accepts it in the Passifloraceae and records it as native to the south-eastern and central United States, from Texas and Kansas to Pennsylvania and Florida, and to Bermuda. Brazil, the country on this label, is not part of that native range; the label and the supplier state it as the country of the product. GBIF lists the English names purple passionflower and maypop.
Herb and extract
The same species is also sold as a liquid purple passionflower extract from Maya Herbs in a dropper bottle. The cut herb is the plant material itself, with leaf and stem pieces still recognisable.
Storing your botanicals
Keep dried plants in their tightly closed pouch or in an airtight jar, away from light, moisture and heat. Powders absorb moisture easily, so close them again straight away. For extracts, tinctures and capsules, follow the instructions on the label and the printed date.
Before using a plant
- Keep plants out of the reach of children and pets.
- If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or taking any medication, ask a doctor or pharmacist first: many plants interact with medicines.
- Stop immediately if you have an allergic reaction or feel unwell.
