Healthy Watermelon Fruit
Citrullus lanatus is a plant species in the
family Cucurbitaceae, a vine like scrambler and trailer flowering plant
originally from West Africa. It is cultivated for its fruit. The subdivision of
this species into two cultivars, watermelons Citrullus lanatus Thunb. var.
lanatus and citron melons.originated with the erroneous
Molecular data
including sequences from the original collection of Thunberg and other relevant
type material, show that the sweet dessert watermelon Citrullus vulgaris
Schrad. and the bitter wooly melon Citrullus lanatus Thunb. Matsum. &
Nakai are not closely related to each other.
Since 1930, thousands of papers have misapplied the name Citrullus lanatus Thunb. Matsum. & Nakai for the dessert watermelon, and a proposal has
therefore been submitted to conserve the name with this meaning. The bitter
wooly melon was formally described by Carl Peter Thunberg in 1794 and given the
name Momordica lanata. It was reassigned
to the genus Citrullus in 1916 by Japanese botanists Ninzo Matsumura and
Takenoshin Nakai. The sweet dessert melon was formally described by Carl
Linnaeus in 1753 and given the name Cucurbita citrullus. It was reassigned to
the genus Citrullus in 1836 by the German botanist Heinrich Adolf Schrader.

The
bitter wooly melon is the sister species of Citrullus ecirrhosus Cogn. from
South African arid regions, while the sweet dessert melon is the sister species
of mucosospermus Fursa from West Africa. DNA data reveal that C.
lanatus var. citroides Bailey is the same as Thunberg's bitter wooly melon, C.
lanatus and also the same as C. amarus Schrad. It is not a form of the sweet
dessert melon C. vulgaris and not closely related to that species. The citron
melon or makataan a variety with sweet yellow flesh that is cultivated around
the world for fodder, and the production of citron peel and pectin. The dessert
watermelon is an annual that has a prostrate or climbing habit.
Stems are up to
3 m long and new growth has yellow or brown hairs. Leaves are 60 to 200 mm long
and 40 to 150 mm wide. These usually have three lobes which are themselves
lobed or doubly lobed. Plants have both male and female flowers on 40-mm-long
hairy stalks. These are yellow, and greenish on the back.
