NOTES :

On Cucurbita maxima Duchesne subsp. maxima 'Baby Red Hubbard'
The French people who are the most active promoters of the "potimarron" consider the cultivar name 'Potimarron' (which is torpedo shaped) as distinct from the 'Uchiki Kuri' which is tear-drop shaped. "Potimarron" is the name sometimes given to the group of chestnut pumpkins that the Japanese call Kuri kabotcha (translating as chestnut pumpkin or chestnut squash).
Why " Chestnut Bush" is not an appropriate name for this ? because this is a vine not a bushy cucurbit.
