LAGENARIA (Latin, lagena, a bottle) . Cucurbitacese. 

 GOURD. CALABASH GOURD (the true calabash is Cres- 

 centia). Probably one species, although several specific 

 names have been given to the various forms: a tender 

 tendril-vine, producing hard-shelled fruits in very 

 many forms that are used for ornament and in the 

 making of utensils; and the rampant vine makes a 

 good temporary screen or cover. 



Plant musk-scented, with a sticky feeling, monoecious 

 or dioecious: fls. solitary, white, funnelform, very soft 

 in texture, withering in the sun; staminate fls. on very 

 long, slender stalks (usually exceeding the If.); pistil- 

 late fls. mostly short-stalked, with three 2-lobed stigmas 

 and hairy ovary: tendrils forked, long and slender: st. 



2059. Various forms of gourds, Lagenaria leucantha. 



striate-grooved, soft-hairy: Ivs. large, soft-pubescent, 

 cordate-ovate or reniform-ovate, sometimes angled, 

 the edges obscurely apiculate-sinuate, on prominent 

 or long petioles. L. leucantha, Rusby (Cucurbita 

 Lagenaria, Linn. C. leucdntha. Duch. L. vulgaris, 

 Ser.), is widely grown in tropical countries and is often 

 spontaneous; probably native in Trop. Afr. and Asia. 

 To this species belong the gourds known in this coun- 

 try as Hercules' club, sugar -trough, dipper, snake, 

 calabash, bottle, miniature bottle, depressa, and others : 

 see Gourd, Vol. III. In some countries, the young fr. 

 is said to be eaten as we eat summer squash. 



Lagenaria is a tender annual, which should receive the 

 culture of squashes. The season in the northern states 

 and Ont. is often too short for the full maturity of 

 the frs., particularly if seeds have been brought from 

 the S. Give a quick warm soil and sunny exposure. 

 In the N., seeds may be started inside in pots, or on 

 inverted sods, after the manner of cucumbers. The 

 lagenarias are rampant growers, often running 30-40 

 ft., and covering the ground or a fence with a dense 

 mass of large, roundish, soft Ivs. It is exceedingly 

 variable in its fr., and has received many species-names 

 as L. microcdrpa, R.H. 1855:61; L. clavdta; L. pyro- 

 theca, R.B. 23, p. 198; L. virginalis, white-fruited, 

 G.C. III. 11:85; var. longissima, Gt. 48, p. 159; L. 

 verrucbsa, Hort., with ball-shaped very warty fr., Gt. 

 39 (1890), p. 106. L. verrucdsa var. Giordaniana, Hort., 

 is a form with warty pear-shaped fr. The hard shells 

 of the frs. are used for drinking-cups, water-jugs, and 

 many domestic utensils. From the pear-shaped shell 

 of a small-fruited form the Paraguayans drink their 

 famous mate, or Ilex tea. Some of the commonest 

 forms are shown in Fig. 2059. The long curved forms
