Fruitmoie or less succulent,cro\Mied by the scar of thecalyx. Seeds flat, ovate, enve-loped in a skin, which is eitherjuicy, or dry and membra-nous ; testa coriaceous, oftenthick at the margin, sometimeswinged ; embryo flat, with noalbumen ; cotyledons folia-ceous, veined ; radicle nexttlie hilum. Cucurbits are placed byAuguste de St. Hilaire and DeCandolle between Myrtles, towhich they appear to havelittle affinity, and Passion-worts, to which they are soclosely allied,that they scarcely differ, except in theii* sinuous CCXVJ stamens, adherent ovary, ig- - unisexual flowers, and exalbuminous seeds, the habit of both being much the same.
