S. P. I. No. 51390.) 



Commonly sold in the markets of Bogota under the misleading name of "pepino," tliis vege- 

 table, borne on a vine like the cucumber, is said by Mr. Popenoe to be served stufTed with 

 chopped meat and baked, as are sweet peppers in the North. It is not eaten as a salad like 

 the true pepino (Solanum muricatum). (Photographed, natural size, by Wilson Popenoe, 

 Bogota, Colombia, August 26, 1920; P18035FS.)
