The seeds.

This member of the Cucurbitaceae family was described by Zimmermann in
1922, and is found in Kenya. It prefers a well-drained soil, plenty of water in growth and some sun. The caudex will grow to 30 centimetres
in diameter. The flowers are yellow, and it can only be reproduced from
seeds.
Dioecious (but seen
monoecious in cultivation), female flowers might only occur on older
plants. The fruits are orange, and
look a little like a
fat chili.
