Dear Neil ji,
I hope there is a small mistake the plant is Cucumis trigonus Roxb., possibly a typographical error.
Regards
Tanay

Thanks Neil, Thanks Tanay,

Eflora discussion thread on Cucumis trigonus Roxb.

The literature says "Endemic to Maharashtra" ? I have seen this climber herb many times in my locality.

Every farmer in our region knows and spells this herb as as "Gomate" [Kannada]. However in the internet/plant systematics this popular name is still obscure. I think the farmers cannot be wrong.

Regards

Raghu
