Rank Reasons
Passiflora bryonioides is known from southern Arizona south to southern Mexico. Apparently uncommon but fairly widespread.
Range Extent Comments
Known from the very southern edge of Arizona in southwest Santa Cruz County in the Pajarito Mountains, south through Mexico from Sonora to Oaxaca (Arizona Game and Fish Department 2015; MacDougal 2001; Villasenor 2016).
Occurrences Comments
In Arizona, there are 2 extant occurrences (NatureServe Network Database as of October 2018). In Mexico, there are approximately 300 points in GBIF (2018). Mexican specimens in the SEINet database (2018) have nearly all been collected between the late 1990's and 2017.
Threat Impact Comments
Seeds are sold online. Additional information about threats throughout the species' range was not found as of 2018.
