Wild passionfruit, or (locally) "caperbush" is an Australian native plant. It is a subspecies of the caper.
Its 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.
