Passifloraceae - definition of Passifloraceae in Encyclopedia (143 words) |
 | Passifloraceae is a family of flowering plants, containing about 530 species classified in around 18 genera. |
 | The former Cronquist system of classification placed this family in the order Violales, but under more modern classifications systems such as that proposed by the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group, this is absorbed into the Malpighiales. |
