Notes:

The leaves have butterfly-egg mimic callosities on the margins near the base of some of the indentations.

There are two sorts of leaf spots:

1. Small, round spots with white papery centres and broad dark purple borders, 1-2mm diam, surrounded by pale green haloes. These look fungal but no sporocarp visble. There are three species of Septoria (and maybe three of Phyllosticta) on Passiflora in other parts of the world.

2. Slightly larger, roundish, brown, unbordered spots surrounded by pale green haloes.
