'''Muskmelon''' (''Cucumis melo'') is a species of melon that has been developed into many cultivated varieties. These include smooth skinned varieties such as honeydew, crenshaw and casaba, and different netted cultivars (cantaloupe, Persian melon and Santa Claus or Christmas melon). The large number of cultivars in this species approaches that found in [[wild cabbage]], though morphological variation is not as extensive. It is an [[accessory fruit]] of a type that [[botany|botanists]] call an [[epigynous berry]]. Muskmelon is native to northwestern [[India]].<ref>Seeds handbook: biology, production, processing and storage, 2nd edition}}</ref> The varied cultivars produced have been divided into multiple [[cultivar group]]s. ==Cultivation== ===Propagation=== ===Pests and diseases=== ==Varieties== honeydew, crenshaw, casaba, cantaloupe, Persian melon, and Santa Claus or Christmas melon ==See also== *[[Bailan melon]] *[[Cantaloupe]] *''[[Cucumis]]'' *[[Galia (melon)|Galia]] *[[Hami Melon]] *[[Honeydew (melon)|Honeydew]] *[[Montreal melon]] *[[Piel de Sapo]] *[[Sugar melon]] *[[Watermelon]] ==Gallery== <gallery perrow=5> File:Whole melon.jpg File:Cantaloupes.jpg| photo 1 File:Rockmelons.JPG| photo 2 File:Korean melon-Chamoe-01.jpg| photo 3 File:Melon casaba.jpg </gallery> ==References== <references/>    ==External links== *{{wplink}} {{stub}} __NOTOC__
