		Summer squashes, like pumpkins, are mostly varieties of Cucurbita pepo; if picked while immature they are eaten as summer squash or marrow, but if left to mature on the vine will form a hard fruit like winter squash.
		Studies by the Royal Military College of Canada show promise for pumpkins and other members of the Cucurbita pepo family to be viable candidates for DDT phytoremediation.
		Raised by Larry Checkon from Northern Cambria, Pennsylvania in 2005, it is technically a "squash," Cucurbita maxima, and was of the public variety "Atlantic Giant," which is the "giant" variety - culminated from the simple hubbard squash by enthusiast farmers through intermittent effort since the mid 1800's.

		The seeds of cucurbita plants are particularly nutrient-dense, providing notable stores of protein, fiber, iron, copper, magnesium, manganese, and phosphorous, as well as the amino acids arginine and glutamic acid.
		Perhaps the most enduring folk use for cucurbita seeds is to eliminate intestinal parasites, a use largely explained by the eventual discovery of an unusual amino acid called cucurbitin in the seeds.
		In one of the few clinical trials on cucurbita seeds (pumpkin specifically) for BPH, significant improvements in such symptoms as post-void dribbling, weak urine flow, and time spent urinating were reported in many of the participants.

	<i>Cucurbita texana</i> defined - Hugh D. Wilson
		Cucurbita texana is a free-living system of populations that fall within the primary gene pool of Cucurbita pepo, a species that also includes fully domesticated elements and other free-living population systems.
		The category 'species' is used here in the biological sense, i.e., to denote those population systems that share a common ancestor and lack full reproductive isolation.
		While the 'Texas Gourd' remained formally classified as a distinct species of Cucurbita until 1988, students of the genus recognized a close affinity between this free-living taxon and C.

	REPORT OF THE CUCURBIT WORKING GROUP
		Cucurbita pepo is a morphologically and ecologically diverse species composed of genetically distinct groups of cultivars and free-living populations (i.e., self-sustaining, including both wild and weedy populations).
		The environmental risk of this gene exchange creating aggressive weeds is believed to be dependent on whether or not the transgene is selectively advantageous in native populations.

		There is no satisfactory association between the common and scientific names of pumpkin, squash, summer squash, winter squash, vegetable marrow (primarily a British term), cushaw (Louisiana French for "big pumpkin"), and ornamental gourds.
		Some species of wild bees are most efficient pollinators of Cucurbita, but they are frequently so limited in number or in range as to be of no great economic significance.
		Unfortunately, concrete data are scarce on the pollination of crops of the genus Cucurbita.

		When used as a teniafuge or anthelmintic, Cucurbita seeds are ordinarily administered in the form of the ground seeds themselves, as an infusion (tea), or as an emulsion made by beating the seeds with powdered sugar and milk or water.
		It occurs only in the seeds of Cucurbita species, but its concentration is quite variable even in seeds of the same species.
		This variability probably accounts for reports in the literature that Cucurbita seeds are either unreliable or ineffective as a teniafuge.

		Pumpkin seeds of the genus Cucurbita have enjoyed a long history in folk medicine for use as teniafuges, or agents with the ability to rid the body of intestinal parasites such as roundworms and tapeworms.
		Derived from such species as Autumn Squash, Crookneck Squash, and the Canada Pumpkin, cucurbita seeds can be consumed plain, or be administered in the form of an infusion or tea.
		Usually taken in three separate doses ranging in size from 20 to 150 grams of seeds, the treatment is believed to paralyze the worms, causing them to loosen their grasp and then allowing for them to be an effectively expelled from the body.
