Acanthosicyos horridus
''Acanthosicyos horridus'' is an unusual melon that occurs only in Namibia; it is locally called naras or nara. The nara plant is leafless, the modified stems and spines serve as the photosynthetic "organs" of the plant.〔 The edible seeds are known locally as butterpips.〔Grubben, G.J.H. & Denton, O.A. (2004) Plant Resources of Tropical Africa 2. Vegetables. PROTA Foundation, Wageningen; Backhuys, Leiden; CTA, Wageningen.〕 The fruit serves as an essential food source for Topnaar people from February to April and August to September. The katydid ''Acanthoproctus diadematus'' feeds on the plant, moving between different bushes at night. == References ==
