17102013GS1 a cucurbit for ID from Jim Corbett : Attachments (4). 12 posts by 6 authors.

This cucurbit was growing wild along fences in Jim Corbett area.
Young fruits remind of Luffa amara being softly echinate along angles (perhaps 8, but white flowers) and red fleshy fruit barely 3 cm long remininding Trichsanthes tricuspidata (but lacking fringed petal margins).
Kindly help in ID

Finally got it identified as Gymnopetalum chinense (Lour.) Merr. by … on Facebook


Latest name according to Renner and Pandey (2013) is Trichosanthes costata Bl.


Sir to me it looks any sp of Herpetospermum. I may be wrong


Herpetospermum has yellow flowers and much different fruits


Yes Sir 2 days before only I saw Herpatospermum in Shimla flowers were yellow, but as i remember fruit was almost same. At that time camera was not in working mode so could not take any photo


See this one in … upload


… please have a look on this link. This might help u in reaching any conclusion.


Identity is confirmed Trichosanthes costata Bl. (syn: Gymnopetalum chinense (Lour.) Merr.)

Rajnagar, Kumarghat, Tripura
Kindly identify

Luffa sp.


Fruits look like Parvel, a vegetable.

ridges look to be more prominent and raised like in turai, not parvel we see now. but may be this the prototype of parvel, may be that’s why its colloquial name is ridge gourd.

Closest I can guess is Trichosanthes cochinchinensis (Lour.) M.Roem. !


Yes it is Trichosanthes cochinchinensis, dear …, thank you very much for ID my plant,


The mid rib of petals are seems different?


After perusing species listed in Flora of Peninsular India, I think it is Trichosanthes costata Blume only as per images at
https://efloraofindia.com/2013/11/15/trichosanthes-costata/

Taxonomy seems confusing with Catalog of Life/ GBIF saying something else than POWO.
