IS THERE A LIST THAT NAMES ALL THE PUMPKINS?


WINTER SQUASH - Cucurbita moschata

http://www.mobot.org/gardeninghelp/plantfinder/Plant.asp?code=E451

Varieties in this group are usually long and oblong instead of round and have tan skin. The stems are deeply ridged and enlarged next to the fruit. This group is used for much of the canned pumpkin sold in this country. Other non-pumpkin members include the squash-like cushaw, winter crookneck squash and butternut squash.
