[1] It has very distinct leaves in the shape of bats' wings and purple oval or circle shaped fruit that are mainly ornamental. It is a fast-growing vine to several feet. Leaves are dark green and often with splotches of light-green. White-yellow flowers with the typically ornate Passiflora appearance form when weather is warm.
