Cucurbita scabridifolia

Cucurbita scabridifolia is a plant species of the genus Cucurbita[1][2][3] native to Mexico. It is a xerophyte and has not been domesticated.[2][4] Very little is known about this species. Geographic location and genetics make it highly likely that C. scabridifolia is a naturally occurring hybrid of C. foetidissima and C. pedatifolia.[5]

The species was formally described by Liberty Hyde Bailey in 1943, in Gentes Herbarum.[1]
