Sechium (probably from the Greek sekos, "to fatten in a fold," because it was fed to hogs). Cucurbitaceae. A climbing sparsely hairy herb, with perennial tuberous roots, grown in tropical and subtropical regions for its large fruits, which somewhat resemble the summer squash in use and character.
Leaves membranaceous, 3-angled or -lobed, cordate at the base; tendrils 2-5-branched, opposite the lvs.: fls. small, monoecious, axillary, the pistillate solitary, the staminate in small clusters; calyx-tube saucer-shaped, the limb 5-lobed; corolla rotate, deeply 5- parted, the segms. ovate-lanceolate; filaments and styles connate into a central column, of which the anthers appear as lobes, while the stigmas are closely set together, forming a small head: fr. pear-shaped or globose, fleshy, 1-seeded.—One species, indigenous in Mex. and Cent. Amer. and widely planted.
