Cucumis rheedii Type: drawing in l.c.

Remarks.

Cogniaux and Harms (1924) synonymized this species with Coccinia cordifolia (L.) Cogn., a name that Cogniaux used for Coccinia grandis (L.) Voigt. However, the drawing shows 3-5-fid tendrils and small? subglobose fruits on an ebracteate panicle. This does not correspond to Coccinia .
