Cucurbitaceae - Wikipedia
Leaves are exstipulate, alternate, simple palmately lobed or palmately compound. The flowers are unisexual, with male and female flowers on different plants (dioecious) or on the same plant (monoecious). The female flowers have inferior ovaries. The fruit is often a kind of modified berry called a pepo. [7]: 2.
Cucurbitaceae | Definition, Characteristics, Examples, & Facts
Most species are fast-growing prostrate or climbing vines with long-stalked palmate leaves that alternate along the stem. At the side of the leafstalk in annual species there is a simple, often branched, spirally coiled tendril. It is generally regarded by most botanists to be a modified shoot and serves to support the vining stems.
Cucurbitaceae contain oxygenated tetracyclic triterpenoids (cucurbitacins) with bitter taste and purging or abortive effect. Often confused with Passifloraceae or Vitaceae, because they share occurrence of alternate leaves and tendrils, but differentiated by the tendrils inserted at a 90°

Family: Cucurbitaceae — gourd or pumpkin family - Go Botany
Species in the Cucurbitaceae are annual or perennial vines that either trail along the ground or climb upwards using tendrils. The leaves are arranged alternately and are either undivided and lobed, or divided into 3 or more leaflets.
Diagnostics: Cucurbitaceae are mostly perennial lianas or herbaceous annual vines or trailers, often glandular-hairy and usually with one tendril per node inserted at a 90° angle with the petiole (fig. 5a & b).

Leaves: Alternate, petiolate- petiole long and hollow; simple, lobed, exstipulate, palmately veined; tendrils present in the axil of leaf or opposite to the leaf. In Acanthosicyos the leaves are absent but thorns are present.

Adequate herbarium specimens of garden species, with often very large leaves and bulky fruit, are sparse. Temporary waifs are probably more common than the maps indicate, and species additional to those documented and included here may be found.
Cucurbitaceae in Flora of China @ efloras.org
Herbs, annual or perennial, or weak, woody shrubs with watery sap, scandent or prostrate. Roots fibrous or tuberous. Stem often angular.

2010年1月1日 · Cucurbitaceae leaves lack stipules and usually have well-developed petioles; sessile or subsessile leaves occur in a few species of Coccinia, Momordica, Sicyos, Solena, and Cephalopentandra ecirrhosa. The blade is simple or lobed, less often 3-foliolate, rarely up to 9-foliolate (Momordica enneaphylla), the venation is palmate.
