The Chapada do Araripe is approximately 180 km long and 30-50 km wide, covering part of the states of Ceará, Pernambuco and Piauí, Northeast Brazil. This region is known for its rich biodiversity, including rare, endemic species and even species new to science. It covers the Environmental Protection Area of Chapada do Araripe (APA), the Araripe National Forest (FLONA) and the Geopark Araripe. The Passifloraceae family is represented in Chapada do Araripe by nine taxa belonging to the genus Passiflora L. genus, occurring preferentially in the Seasonal Semideciduous Forest (Mata Seca). This guide with photographs of vegetative and reproductive morphological characters was created with the aim of aiding in the recognition and identification of Passiflora representatives and expanding the knowledge of the local flora by specialists and non-specialists.
