Botanical characteristics
This catalogue group brings together several botanical names and ornamental references. A shared genus name does not imply the same fruit use, life cycle or seed specification.
A genus assortment, not one cucumber variety
For seed retailers, Cucumis anguria, Cucumis dipsaceus and Melo “Queen Anne’s Pocket” are distinct catalogue entries. The first two names are accepted species; Queen Anne’s Pocket is listed under C. melo. Use the full reference in a bulk enquiry, and do not infer edibility from the word “cucumber” on an ornamental entry.
