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.
