The bottle gourd or calabash(Lagenaria siceraria) is a climbing plant from the gourd family (Cucurbitaceae). Two geographical subspecies of the calabash have been described:

  • ssp. siceraria (L.s. var laevisperma Millan)
  • ssp. asiatica (Kobyakova)Heiser [1](syn. L.vulgaris Ser.ssp.asiatica Kobyakova)

The classification by fruit form proposed by I. Grebenšcikov has not yet become established, but should be mentioned here for the sake of completeness:

  • convar clavatina Greb.
  • convar cugurdina Greb.
  • convar siceraria[2]

Description

The annual plant forms creeping and climbing, branched tendrils with alternate, soft, hairy leaves. The leaf edges are round with entire margins.

The plant produces monoecious white flowers that open at dusk. The pumpkin fruit is variable in shape, but is usually spherical or shaped like a bottle with a bulbous part and an elongated neck. The fruits can reach lengths of over one meter. The pericarp of the fruit becomes woody and hard. The hollowed-out fruits are therefore often used to make storage and drinking vessels, drums, lamps and other utensils.

Origin

The species originally comes from tropical regions. The oldest finds from Zambia, Thailand and Peru date back to around 12,000 BC. The cultivation of the fruit and its use as a storage container are very old. The plant is mentioned in ancient times by Pliny the Elder and in the Middle Ages in the Capitulare de villis, where its use as a vegetable is mentioned
