Budama kaya (Cucumis pubescens Willd.)-an economic cucurbitaceous plant.

Abstract

There is considerable confusion in the nomenclature of Cucumis pubescens Willd. It is described by Hooker (1879) as Cucumis trigonus Roxb. Roxburgh (1832) describes this plant as Cucumis madras- patanus Willd. which the Index Kewensis (1895) incorrectly cites as a synonym of Cucumis Melo L.- the well known water-melon. It is figured in Wight's (1845) Icones tablet 496 under the Tamil name Thummatti kai and the Telugu name Budama kaya.
