Key pattern

Alternate, often deeply lobed leaves on tendril climbers; flowers bear an elaborate fringe of thread-like filaments (the corona) between the petals and the reproductive parts, which sit raised on a central stalk above the flower's face.

The intricate corona and raised floral parts historically inspired Christian missionaries to read symbols of the Passion of Christ into the flower's structure, giving the genus its common name.
