The native passion flower, Tetrapathaea tetandra, still grows wild in Riccarton Bush. Its vivid orange ovoid fruit makes it a stand out where it festoons the nearby shrubs and trees. It is rather a rampant grower with glossy leaves, not particularly significant flowers, and fruit which seems to appeal to birds and is certainly of ornamental value.
