Plate II. 



A New Vegetable from Colombia. (Cyclanthera pedata (L.) Schrad.; 

 S. P. I. No. 51390.) 



Commonly sold in the markets of Bogota under the misleading name of "pepiiio," this vege- 

 table, borne on a ^i.ne like the cucumber, is said by Mr. Popenoe to be served stuffed 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 WUson Popenoe, 

 Bogota, Colombia, August 26, 1920; P180.3.5FS.)
