CUCUMIS

Cucumis is a genus of half-hardy trailing herbs belonging to the family Cucurbitaceae. The flowers are monoecious, the short-stalked staminate ones being in fascicles or clusters while the pistillate flowers are solitary. The stamens are not united in a column as they are in Cucurbita. The species include the cucumber and the melon.
