The fruits have now fully developed revealing true identity of this plant"
It is Cucumis melo var, reticulatus 'Rock Melon'
Here is explanation from Wikipedia to earlier wrong ID 
"While Europeans distinguish between true cantaloupes (smooth skin) and netted melons, Americans use the term "cantaloupe" to refer to the netted, orange-fleshed muskmelons. It is also sometimes referred to as a muskmelon.

In fact var, reticulatus (in Europe) and var. cantapulensis (in ISA) are used interchangeably and are synonyms of C. melo according to POWO.
