I think the presence of leafy stipules means this is Passiflora subulata, but it should have some straw like glands on the petiole which I can't see

Is the name a mistaken autocorrect from P. subpeltata? There seems to be a small gland in photo 5.

Mike and Steve - if this plant is still around would be good to collect as a specimen and deposit at CSIRO, as I am pretty sure this is the first record of it being naturalised in the ACT. It is on Paul Downey's ACT weed alert list as a medium risk species. FYI @ACT Bio-security

It is in an accessible spot beside a track so I was going to leave it until it flowered. If it shows no sign of buds in the next couple of months I will collect it.

Best to leave this one as @Mike suggested, until flowers appear. We can then take a sample to the herbarium. Good spotting.
