This member of the Cucurbitaceae family was given this name by C. Jeffrey in
1964. It's found in Kenya, Uganda, Somalia and Ethiopia, growing in well-drained
soil with lots of water and some sun. The vines don't get that long
for a Cucurbitaceae, only one meter, the caudex can get up to 60 centimetres in
diameter. The flowers are white to yellow, the fruits orange.
