Wild passionfruit, or caperbush is an Australian native plant. It is a subspecies of the caper.
It's name in the Arrernte language of Central Australia is Merne arrutnenge.
Wild passionfruit is a tasty bush tucker food for Aborignes. When it ripens, the skin goes orange, splits open and the little black seeds become visible. It is then ready to eat. It grows prolifically in riverbeds in the desert.
