| Squirting Cucumber seeds |
| (The Latin name is one of those lovely tautologies – saying the same thing twice with different words – that one comes across in botany from time to time; roughly (very) translated, the two words mean “the squirting squirter!”) | |
| Although not the world’s most attractive plant (reminiscent of the ordinary outdoor Cucumber), this is the kind of thing that everyone will want to grow at one time for its curious, small Cucumber-like fruits – when ripe the slightest touch or vibration causes them to squirt their seeds with enough energy to give them quite a range; small boys will find them irresistible! Please note the fruits are not edible; indeed, they contain a powerful purgative! | |
