Morphological and molecular characteristics were studied in six wild species of Passiflora. There were statistically significant differences among these six species for all characteristics studied. Intra-specific variability was observed for number of flowers, number of fruits, number of seeds, fruit length, fruit width and leaf area. Cluster analysis using morphological data showed three groups: 1) P. palmeri var. sublanceolata, P. morifolia and P. foetida var. foetida, 2) P. coriacea and P. micropetala, and 3) P. suberosa. The dendrogram constructed using randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) data showed six different groups for each species. The genetic distances among the 24 accessions ranged from 0.05 (between P. morifolia accessions P1 and P3) to 0.95 (P. coriacea accession 31 and P. palmeri var. sublanceolata accession 49). The species showed high morphological and molecular inter- and intraspecific variability.
