help ID these plants

st Thomas, Virgin Islands (USA)

This plant grew on it's own and I don't know what it is and how big it will get etc. the other one - a vine that has purple teardrop berries- are they edible? and the last also has berries or something like it. Going crazy trying to google it!

here is a pic I took today, the flowers are blooming. I think the other 2 are correct, looked up passiaflora and did not know that passion fruit is poisonous if it is not totally ripe- YIKES! I won't be eating those berries even if they look delicious!

Yep, looks just like my Senna alata BEFORE it froze!

yes thank you it is a senna alata- the flowers just fell off but it has seed pods on it. It is nice to know the medicinal benefits of it too- laxative and anti fungal
