Note on cantaloupe.

In America the true European cantaloupe is not recognized officially. It is distinguished by its non-netted skin and by the fact that its fruit does not slip from the vine when ripe as the reticulated (netted) rockmelon does. Therefore it does not seem logical to regroup all true cantaloupes and all rockmelons under the same botanical name. We decided to conserve the two groups and to keep them separate.

Note on chito.

Within this group I have regrouped the chate of Egypt and the typical mango melon because they are close together, however I have kept them separate from the dudaim group. Modern taxonomists do not recognize the two groups anymore. Egyptian botanists and field workers need to document these two groups or they will merge into one and eventually perhaps disappear altogether.

Note on dudaim.

Within this group two subgroups should feature, one for Middle-Eastern varieties and one for European varieties. Unfortunately due to the ravages of war, modern plant breeding and loss of traditional uses very few cultivars survive today.

We consequently decided to conserve the Chito and Dudaim varieties as separate groups primarily to facilitate the sorting of the common names but also to retain some logic in the classification.

 

Note on Cucumis pubescens Willd.

All the common names under this species could apply to Benincasa hispida var. chiehqua. Perhaps that this old botanical name is a synonym of Benincasa hispida var. chiehqua. On the other hand the botanical name could apply to the Honey Dew melon Cucumis melo (Inodorus Group) 'Honey Dew'. In this case there would be a mismatch with the common names. In doubt we have kept this species on its own.

 

Note on Cucumis sativus L. ( cucumber)

Botanically speaking this name refers to the wild species but in the seed and fresh produce trades it is used as a synonym for any longer botanical name that taxonomists may apply to the cultivated varieties. "C. sativus L. var. sativus" was chosen above as the present name, on the strength of the USDA GRIN Database, but is bound to be changed because taxonomists disapprove of domesticated plants referred to as botanical varieties "var.". The current recommendation in botanical nomenclature of domesticated plants is to adopt the Group name system. Unfortunately for species such as C. sativus we are far from world wide agreement on group names. Should English names dominate ? Personally I don't think so. My personal opinion is that Botanical Latin should be the standard adopted for group names so as not to detract from the names of the past. See example with Cucumis melo below.

 

Note on Cucumis melo L. infraspecific levels

If "reticulatus" was used in the past why not adopt the group name "Reticulatus" or "Reticulata" for any netted fruit. No language is discriminated against and the group name is consistent with the rest of botanical nomenclature. Moreover, given the tendency of all people to simplify and abbreviate, if the group name is the same than the subsp. / convar. / var. / forma names of the past, a meaningful continuum will be achieved, whether one write C. melo reticulatus or Cucumis melo var. reticulatus Naudin, nom. illeg. or Cucumis melo subsp. melo var. reticulatus Naudin, nom. illeg. If the controversy regarding reticulatus versus cantalupensis, which I suspect is mostly from an American viewpoint, is too intense why not adopt yet again another synonym of the past "ameri" which would satisfy the Americans, the Europeans - as long as their Cantaloupe retains its status for the European cantaloupe, and the rest of the world because nowadays muskmelon is mostly regarded as an American melon. In order to add a little precision, short of using a subgroup name we could imagine group names like : "Ameri-Inodorus Group", "Ameri-Reticulatus Group".

Remaining names to match (From USDA GRIN Database). Any suggestion ?
