Summary

Description This tiny native cucumber has two completely opposite reputations. Some authors (and states) list the tiny watermelon-looking fruit as toxic (extremely purgative) while others say it's a safe and tasty addition to salads. The disparity seems to be related to the degree of ripeness of the fruit. The green fruit has a crisp, cucumber-like taste and is safe to eat while the ripe black fruit may have a laxative effect if eaten in quantity. The tiny flowers are about 10mm across and the fruit 20mm. This one lives at Frenchman's Forest Natural Area in Palm Beach County.
