This species is found in Sindh and Multan, and much eultivated 
under the names of Tinda, Albinda, and Dil-pasand, * beloved to the 
heart": eaten cookedasa gourd. It seems a very different species 
from the water-melon, to which it is nearest. The stamina of the 
latter are nectariferous both in the male and female flower, as well 
as in Colocynthis ; the anthers are only sinuate, not gyrose or condu- 
plicate or anfractuosc. M. Nandin refers this to C. vulgaris, but 
without any note as to whether he has made : any experiments to 
prove the unity of the species.
