Cucurbita maxima : ウィキペディア英語版 | Cucurbita maxima
''Cucurbita maxima'', one of at least five species of cultivated squash, is one of the most diverse domesticated species. This species originated in South America from the wild ''Cucurbita andreana'' over 4000 years ago. The two species hybridize quite readily but have noticeably different calcium levels. ==Cultivation== Different squash types of this species were introduced into North America as early as the 16th century. By the American Revolution, the species was in cultivation by Native American tribes throughout the present-day United States. By the early 19th century, at least three varieties are known to have been commercially introduced in North America from seeds obtained from Native Americans. Secondary centers of diversity include India, Bangladesh, Myanmar, and possibly the southern Appalachians. The large red-orange squashes often seen at Halloween in the United States are ''C. maxima'', but not to be confused with the orange type used for jack-o-lanterns, which are ''C. pepo''.
