They are found in the Northeastern United States and Florida.

Passionfruit
''Passiflora edulis,'' commonly known as passion fruit, is a vine species of passion flower native to southern Brazil through Paraguay and northern Argentina. It is cultivated commercially in tropical and subtropical areas for its sweet, seedy fruit. The fruit is a pepo, a type of berry, round to oval, either yellow or dark purple at maturity, with a soft to firm, juicy interior filled with numerous seeds. The fruit is both eaten and juiced, the juice often added to other fruit juices to enhance aroma. Etymology The passion fruit is so called because it is one of the many species of passion flower, the English translation of the Latin genus name, ''Passiflora''. Around 1700, the name was given by missionaries in Brazil as an educational aid while trying to convert the indigenous inhabitants to Christianity; its name was ''flor das cinco chagas'' or "flower of the five wounds" to illustrate the crucifixion of Christ, with other plant components also named after an emblem in the P ...

Australian Oxford Dictionary
The ''Australian Oxford Dictionary'', sometimes abbreviated as ''AOD'', is a dictionary of Australian English published by Oxford University Press.Warden, Ian "Some Balltearers For The Scrabble Board" 27 October 1999 Canberra Times P7 The ''AOD'' combines elements of the previous Oxford publication, ''The Australian National Dictionary'' (sometimes abbreviated as ''AND''), which was a comprehensive, historically based record of 10,000 words and phrases representing Australia's contribution to English. However, ''The Australian National Dictionary'' was not a full dictionary, and could not be used as one in the normal sense. The ''AOD'' borrowed its scholarship both from the ''AND'' and from ''The Oxford English Dictionary'', and competed with the ''Macquarie Dictionary'' when it was released in 1999. Like the ''Macquarie'', the ''AOD'' combines elements of a normal dictionary with those of an encyclopaedic volume. It is a joint effort of Oxford University and the Australian Nation ...
