cucumber berries?
Comments (2)Thanks for the responce. The web forum wouldn't let me post the picture until I had shrunk it to only 60kb. I didn't like the picture either. You have made an excellent guess though. I do believe that the plant is Melonette, Melothria pendula. I would never eat anything I wasn't certain of its value so fortunately this approach has saved me from the possible side effects. Birds or animals may have sown the seeds but I had never run across this native plant in my 48 years.

Comments (15)It definitely is my fault, I should have done my research before buying it... although the seller should have known more about that plant, as it is her job. But it doesn't really matter in the end; I just want to know what it is and, most important, if it is alive. I currently live in Dakar, Sénégal, in West Africa. Cool season is between 63°F and 79°F, hot season between 68°F and 86°F. It's a tropical, hot and humid climate....See MoreWould anyone know what this plant is ?
Comments (10)That's funny because the same thing happened to me. I posted a plant in a furniture forum accidently, and some nice farmer on there from Iowa identified it for me. They just happened to have several of the tree I was aking about growing on their property....See More- 9 years ago
