Fruits Type/ Shape/ Size Seeds- Smooth, globule, Red …, the green are the unripe berries and red ones the ripe berries of Mukia maderaspatana, also known as Madras pea pumpkin. It is supposed to be a climbing herb used in traditional medecine. Mukia maderaspatana undoubtedly Picture shows it is a climber and not a shruby sp. 100 %. So Not from Solanaceae but from Cucurbitaceae, Thanks a lot for the ID help and clear definitions.
I feel some of the species listed below appear morphologically similar, but are distinct in true sense.
1. Citrullus colocynthis, a sister species of watermelon (C. lanatus).
2. Mukia maderaspatana / Madras pea pumpkin
3. Solanum kinds Not to confuse cucurbits with Solanum species. Cucurbits are usually climbers with tendrils, not found in Solanum. Most important, curcubit fruit has a scar at the tip showing position of attachment of floral parts, not found in Solanum. Will be grateful sir, if you could kindly indicate how to distinguish the two species, Mukia and Diplocyclos, since fruits looks so similar. I thought the leaves seen in the second pic are of a different plant, isn’t it? …, I will post the photos of Diplocyclos seeds which can help for the differences between two sp. In Ayurveda seeds are used as medicine. In the photos there are no leaves seen that’s why it is confusing for ID. But it is not solanum sp. 100 %. 1.There is no calyx present at the base of fruit 2. No thorny structure, 3. No dried thorny shrub at surrounding, 4. Most probably most of the solanum sp. fruits turns Yellow and Orange (may be red in S.indicum) after ripening. 5. When plant gets dried fruits also get dried and not ripened and fresh. Yes … Thanks, I have no doubt about this not being Solonum species, my query to … was how to differentiate btw. Mukia and Diplocyclos, since the berries of Mukia too are very much like the ones seen in the pictures. I have not seen the two in nature but from available information I gather that berries of Mukia maderaspatana are smaller usually less than 1 cm and bristly when young. The berries of Diplocyclos are uasually larger than 1.5 cm, glabrous when young with faint white lines. … fruits of Mukia maderaspatana are just about the size of regular pea …
while that of Diplocyclos palmatus are quite large in this context … as large as sphere made by 50 paise OR 1 Re coin.
Diplocyclos palmatus flickr.com/search/ Mukia maderaspatana flickr.com/search/ These are fruits (leaves dried here) of Diplocyclos palmatus for sure.
…, had you observed the seeds, you would have seen their amazing structure like miniature “Shiv Ling”.
