Cucumis metuliferus
E. Mey. ex Naudin
Genus:
Cucumis
Subgenus:
Cucumis
Section:
Metuliferi
Family:
Cucurbitaceae
Tribe:
Benincaseae
Nomen number:
12574
Place of publication:
Ann. Sci. Nat., Bot. sér. 4, 11:10. 1859
Comment:
there is some question as to whether the spelling should be corrected to "
metulifer
" to reflect the classical Latin termination (
Shenzhen ICN
Art. 32.2) for the masculine form of this adjectival epithet (see also W. T. Stearn, Botanical Latin ed. 4:91. 1992), but lacking explicit guidance in the Code for this case we retain the original spelling
