	Cucurbitales - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Cucurbitales are an order of flowering plants, included in the rosid group of dicotyledons.
		One of major characteristics of the Cucurbitales is the presence of unisexual flowers, mostly pentacyclic, with thick pointed petals (whenever present) (Matthews and Endress, 2004).
		Specifically, the Cucurbitaceae are responsible for some food species, such as squash, pumpkin (both from Cucurbita), watermelon (Citrullus vulgaris), melon and cucumber (both Cucumis).

	Wood anatomy of Corynocarpaceae is consistent with Cucurbitalean placement (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		All of the families of Cucurbitales (except Anisophylleaceae) have two unusual features: minimal borders on perforation plates and unusually wide multiseriate rays (not accompanied by uniseriate rays).
		Anisophylleaceae have several wood features more primitive than those of other Cucurbitales (tracheids, aliform axial parenchyma, nonstoried cambial initials), but the family is not necessarily excluded from Cucurbitales.
		Data on wood of Corynocarpaceae are derived from samples of three species of Corynocarpus; possible specific characters are offered.

		How Gourds Fit In to the Rest of the Universe
		Cucurbitales really has only one major family, cucurbitacea, the "real" gourd family, which includes all the genera we think of as gourds, as well as cucumbers, watermelons, pumpkins, squash, and around a hundred other genera of less economic and cultural significance.
		Most of us "gourdheads" focus on just three of the approximately 100 genera: the lagenaria, or hard-shell gourd; the cucurbita, ornamental gourd; and the luffa, or vegetable sponge.
