Cucurbita, which means "gourd" in Latin, is a genus of herbaceous fruits that belong to the Cucurbitaceae family of gourds. It is a native of the Andes and Mesoamerica.
The flesh and seeds of five edible species are raised and eaten. Depending on the species, type, and regional slang, they go by the names squash, pumpkin, or gourd. The genus Lagenaria, which is in the same family and subfamily as the gourd family Cucurbita but in a separate tribe, is home to several varieties of gourds that are endemic to Africa and are also known as bottle-gourds.
The young fruits of these other gourds are consumed similarly to those of the Cucurbita genus, and they are used as cups or as utensils.
