Has. Found in almost every hedge about Madras. Dr. Wight. 
The authors of this Genus, Messrs. Wight and Arnott, observe 
in their work above quoted, that it is allied to Cucurbita in its 
campanulate and 5-cleft corolla ;—to Lechiwm in the monadelph- 
ous stamens ;—to Momordica in its seeds and in the tendency 
of the fruit to split;—and to Bryonia in the highly coloured 
fruit and its slightly baccate nature. Both from Momordica and 
Bryonia it is easily recognised by the corolla, the staminal 
crown, and several other characters.
