	Gourd, Bottle -- Lagenaria siceraria (Mol.) Standl.
		Lagenaria forms intercross freely, resulting in great variation in vigor and horticultural characteristics.
		Varieties of Lagenaria are known throughout West Africa, where the bottle gourd has been grown for containers, but these cultivars are largely unrecorded in terms of name and characteristics.
		Lagenaria can be grown anywhere in Florida during the frost-free periods of the year.

		Gourd, Ornamental -- Lagenaria spp., Cucurbita spp., and Luffa spp.
		Ornamental gourds are the gaily colored, oddly shaped, squash-like, hard-skinned fruits of plants belonging to several genera and species of the Cucurbitaceae family.
		They are closely related to the edible squashes and pumpkins, but include with Cucurbita a different group of genera and species such as Lagenaria siceraria (Plate A), Luffa cylindrica (Plate B), Benincasa hispida, and others.

		Lagenaria gourds include the large, utilitarian gourds such as the Bird's Nest/Bottle, Bowl, or Dinosaur.
		The fruits of the lagenaria gourds are green when immature and eventually dry to a tan or brown color with a hard shell.
		The gourds should be cut from the vine using sharp pruners, leaving a few inches of the stem attached to prevent disease from entering the fruit during its curing stage.

		Lagenaria sp., thin-shelled bottle gourds, produce large fruit of various shapes, most of which can be dried to form a hard, mostly empty shell.
		Lagenaria types (thin-walled) may ramble 20 to 30 feet and thus should be 4 to 6 feet apart and 10 to 15 feet between rows.
		Where large quantities of gourds are being cured, they are frequently placed in open fruit crates or spread on slotted shelves, where free ventilation can be maintained.

	ARS \| Publication request: Discovery and Genetic Assessment of Wild Bottle Gourd [lagenaria Siceraria (MOL.) Standley; ...
		This information will be useful for the breeding of bottle gourd and the opportunity to use this previously unknown lineage to enchance the gourd germplasm as well as provide genetic material for further evolutionary studies on gourd.
		Technical Abstract: Bottle gourd [Lagenaria siceraria (Mol.) Standley] is an edible, medicinal, and otherwise utilitarian domesticated cucurbit with an ancient pantropical distribution.
		Her morphological observations during several plantings of the collected seed, as well as results from two genetic analyses (random amplified polymorphic DNA and chloroplast sequencing), indicate that the Zimbabwe collection is part of a genetically distinct and wild lineage of L. siceraria.

		The research activity, jointly conducted by the National Agricultural Institute of Benin, the Faculty of Sciences and Technology of the University of Benin and IPGRI, aims to study cultural practices, genetic diversity, use and marketing of the egusi crops Citrullus spp., Cucumeropsis spp.
		A total of 63 accessions belonging to Citrullus lanatus, Lagenaria spp., Cucumeropsis edulis and Telfairia occidentalis were screened and first results showed a wide range of variation between and within Lagenaria varieties, especially in the useful traits of fruit shape, colour and size.
		Five species are specific to Lagenaria, two are common to Lagenaria and Citrullus and, one, Apis mellifica is present mainly on Cucumeropsi edulis.

		This post is an attempt to summarize and put together in one place the argument against a human assisted diffusion of the bottle gourd (* Lagenaria siceraria *) from Africa to the New World.
		Yuri Kuchinsky's arguments favoring diffusion are based primarily in chapters from * Man Across the Sea* a non-refereed (1971) publication of papers presented at a diffusionist conference some years before and a non-refereed paper by Donald Lathrap (1977) actually given at a conference in 1973.
		Wild *Lagenaria* had to have a way to reproduce without human intervention, and it is possible that wild *Lagenaria* is the species that floated over.
