Cucurbita pedatifolia |
Cucurbita pedatifolia is a xerophyte plant species of the genus Cucurbita.[1][2][3] It is native to Querétaro, Mexico. It has not been domesticated.[2]
While C. pedatifolia has been cross bred, results have met with limited success.[4] It does not cross well with other species of Cucurbita.[5] It is a close relative of Cucurbita radicans.[4]
The species was formally described by Liberty Hyde Bailey in 1943, in Gentes Herbarum.[1]
