Herpetospermum (name refers to some character of the seeds). Cucurbitaceae. Two annual tendril- climbers, one from the Himalaya region and one from China, allied to Abobra, but differing in the usually racemose sterile fls. and the long-tubular calyx. Lvs. long-petioled, ovate, nearly entire or angled: tendrils bifid: fls. rather large, yellow: corolla broadly cam- panulate, very deeply parted, the segms. elliptical and entire; stamens 3, included, inserted on calyx-tube, the filaments short and free: fr. medium-size, broadly oblong and 3-angled, costate, more or less 3-valved. H. grandiflorum, Cogn., from China, has been cult, abroad: lvs. broadly ovate-cordate, more or less angular, 4-5 in. long: staminate fls. 3-6 at the apex of a 3-5-in. peduncle, with large golden-yellow petals; pistillate fls. solitary or in pairs, short-stalked, slightly smaller than the staminate: fr. about 2 ½ in. long, densely hairy and greenish, 7-8-ribbed. H. caudigerum, Wall., the other species, has very lightly crenulate ovate lvs. to 6 in. long: staminate fls. usually on twin peduncles, one single-fld. and one 5-10-fld.; pistillate fls. on stout peduncles less than 1 in. long: fr. sparsely hairy, about 3 in. long. L. H. B.
