Cucurbita radicans, commonly known in Mexico as calabacilla[3] (little pumpkin/gourd) or calabaza de coyote[3] (coyote gourd), is a species of gourd found growing wild, but also cultivated, in southern Mexico (specifically in the Federal Districts of Jalisco, Mexico and Michoacán[3]). The type specimen was collected growing in rocks below a mountain near Guadalupe in the vicinity of Mexico City (the exact location is unclear); other specimens were also ubiquitous in the area; in corn fields and gardens, either being cultivated, or as invaders.[2] It is a close relative of Cucurbita pedatifolia.[4]
