It is Luffa cylindrica<\/i> of the family Cucurbitaceae<\/i>.\u00a0 it is a very common wild plants of Bengal found to grow in the every hedges of the state.\u00a0 in the young condition the fruit is edible, and the mature fruit is used as the bath Sponge.<\/p>\n
\n<\/div>\n
This crop is not Luffa cylindrica<\/i>, flower of Luffa cylindrica<\/i> is big size. when it is matured about 5kg weight and it mature 35 days from fruiting. It is also eaten ripe stage but little sweets. It is cultivated in Birbhum district of West Bengal. I thing Citrullus<\/i> group or Praecitullus<\/i> (Tinda)<\/p>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
…\u00a0has stated in another thread<\/font><\/a>:<\/div>\n
“A cultivar of Citrullus colocynthis”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Is there any picture of the entire plant?<\/p>\n
