Passiflora incarnata
The "Passion" in "passion flower" refers to the passion of Jesus in Christian theology. In the 15th and 16th centuries, Spanish Christian missionaries adopted the unique physical structures of this plant, particularly the numbers of its various flower parts, as symbols of the last days of Jesus and especially his crucifixion.

Thanks for joining the Mission, Liam!! :)
Considered it added, p.young! :)
This would be a good spotting for the plants used as a homeopathic remedy.
The fruits are used for a sedative effect and food and drinks.
