Bentham, in Fl. Austr. iii. 317, objects to Baron Mueller raising this form of 
Luffa cBgyptiaca to specific rank as L. leiocarpa^ saying that the raised lines of the 
fruit are quite as conspicuous in the Australian as in some Indian ones ; but tlie 
intense bitter of even the dry fibres of the fruit — a feature also noticed by Mueller, 
Fragm. iii. 107, 1862, but not recorded in Flora Austr. I.e. — furnishes, I think, a 
good mark of distinction as a variety, hence the name here adopted. Dr. Thos. L. 
Bancroft has, however, made an extract from the dried fruit, and we may therefore 
shortly hear something of its properties.
