Passiflora cumbalensis – Taxo silvestre It is a climbing plant that lives in Andean mountain forest communities. It is particularly sought after by the Sword-billed hummingbird, which can access the flower nectar thanks to its long beak. The flower's long calyx tube, which can be deep purple or magenta, measures 15 to 20cm. The colored illustration was drawn in 0.75X scale, while the graphite was drawn in 1X.
