Melon


Melon is a name given to various members of the Cucurbitaceae family with fleshy fruit.
Melon can refer to either the plant or the fruit, which is a false berry.
Many different cultivars have been produced, particularly of muskmelons.
The plant grows as a vine.
Although the melon is a fruit, some varieties may be considered "culinary vegetables".
