A Common Passion: Multiple Agencies and Volunteers Unite to Reintroduce Goatsfoot Passionflower to Rockland Hammocks of Miami, Florida

Possley, J., Hines, K., Maschinski, J., Dozier, J. G., and Rodriguez, C. Native Plants Journal 8(3):252-258. 2007.

We conducted a reintroduction program for rare goatsfoot passionflower ( Passiflora sexflora Juss. [Passifloraceae]) that was possible only through the cooperative efforts of 4 different agencies, one private homeowner, and several volunteers. The reintroduction program included surveying for and collecting wild plants, nursery propagation, and reintroduction to 2 locations within the historic range of goatsfoot passionflower. Reintroductions tripled the known population size of this species. Early results show that 90% of transplants have survived to date, with more than one-third of these reproducing.
