Cucumis callosum syn C. trigonus : 19112012 : RV 1: …, are you sure of the id Cucumis trigonus? I think it is the same plant that was uploaded by … and went through the same discussion involving as many as 26 mails. I think the conclusion should apply here also, Cucumis prophetarum is a very distinct species with strongly echinate fruits, not found here.
Cucumis sativus and C. melo, although with similar looking flowers are easily differentiated on atleast three counts, although both have number varieties/cultivars: in Cucumis sativus the leaves are sharply angular (more or less rounded in C. melo), flowers centre is yellow (pale in C. melo) and very important ovary and young fruits bear tubercles (which may stay in shorter light green dry gardening forms and fall off in dark green longer forms cultivated larger in wetter habitats: these two forms we have in Kashmir former known as Baghi (Garden) kheera and latter Dal kheera (like English cucumber and grown on floating gardens of Dal Lake)). In C. melo on the other hand tubercles ae lacking and ovary and young fruits are covered with hairs which shed off easily.
Cucumis trigonous as mentioned in Flora of British India has “ovary hairy sometimes densely white wooly or silky……..distinguished from C. melo only by perennial habit”….no doubt in recent treatments it is either merged totally in C. melo or considered as its variety. Obviously our plant is not this.
The above plant as such is nothing but a form of Cucumis sativus. Thanks … for correcting me once again. I think this will be Cucumis sativus var. hardwickii as per images and details herein.
Plz id this cucumber: pa55 – 13dec2012: This is the Wild Cucumber [Cucumis trigonus, now possibly called C.sativus var. hardwickii]. The local name is Karit / Davderi.

Chikamagalur-Kemmangudi Road Perhaps it is Cucumis sativus Angular leaves suggest possibility of C. sativus L., so I copy …, perhaps it is …. but in wild? Was there any residence or market nearby? This plant was growing atleast 10 km away from the nearest town, right in the middle of the western ghats.
I have seen Cucumis sativus flowers in Bangalore and this one was definitely bigger in size although I dont have an exact measurement.. Clearly Cucumis sativus. I have seen flowers about 10-15 mm in Delhi, but up to 20 mm across in Kashmir and California, in colder climates. My record is 2 cm across and I have found an article stating var. hardwickii is of same size. . Cucurbitaceae Week: For id from Morni Hills:
This was shot from Morni Hills, Haryana in October 2010, I could never get its growing plant or flowers, though have seen this on many occasions there…..I hope to get hints for its identification. This last photo gives you an idea of the fruit size…
The angular leaves and fruit size suggests Cucumis sativus var. hardwickii, but not very sure. … me too eager to know the ID. Please also check it for Cucumis prophetarum. Fruit Softly echinate- Cucumis prophetarum Does not matches with images of Cucumis prophetarum L. I think Cucumis sativus f. hardwickii as per another thread. It is Cucumis sativus var. hardwickii only. .
