Sicyos albus is an annual vine that can grow up to 20 meters long. The stems are puberulent, glabrate, and marked with black spots. The leaves are simple and alternate, with broadly ovate-cordate blades featuring a broad basal sinus. They measure 7–11 cm long and 9–12 cm wide and can be shallowly to deeply 3–5-lobed.

Sicyos pachycarpus is a climbing vine, potentially with a perennial rootstock. The stems are slender, up to several meters long, about 1 mm in diameter, and glabrous. The leaves are simple and alternate, with broadly ovate-cordate or reniform blades and broad basal sinus.

Sicyos lanceoloideus is a perennial vine that can grow up to 15 meters long, with the base becoming more or less woody for several meters and reaching up to 3 cm in diameter. The leaves are simple and alternate, with broadly ovate blades featuring a narrow basal sinus, measuring 4–15 cm long and 7–16 cm wide.

Also known as burcucumber, oneseed bur cucumber, or star cucumber, this species can scramble up nearby shrubs and trees (or large trellises or wire fences) with its tendrils to reach anywhere from 8 to 20 feet tall, or it will spread out if there’s nothing to climb.

Seed. Growing your own plants from seed is the most economical way to add natives to your home. Before you get started, one of the most important things to know about the seeds of wild plants is that many have built-in dormancy mechanisms that prevent the seed from germinating.

2010年8月30日 · Our primary aim was to describe seed development in Sicyos angulatus from pollination to seed maturity and to compare it with the development of water-impermeable seeds in other families...

Sicyos edulis is a perennial tropical Cucurbit, cultivated as annual in temperate climates. It grows vigorous vines up to ten meters, from a tuberous root rich in starch and which can weigh up to 5kg. The smothering vegetation is ground cover in the absence of support, and boldly climbs over everything on its way.
