Momordica foetida
''Momordica foetida'' is a perennial climbing vine native of tropical Africa, closely related to the bitter melon (''M. charantia'') and balsam apple (''M. balsamina''). Its species name ("bad-smelling") refers to its unpleasant smell. It was previously named ''M. morkorra'' (A. Rich) and ''M. cordata'' (Cogn.)
The plant grows in forest edges and similar habitats (including disturbed and cultivated land), woodland, and wooded grassland. Its leaves are wrinkled, heart-shaped with irregular edges, up to 18 cm wide. The flowers are yellow to yellow-orange. The fruit is a prolate spheroid, 3.5–7.5 cm long and 2.5–5 cm wide, bright orange and covered with soft spines. When fully ripe it splits from the bottom into three valves, exposing a cluster of black seeds, individually covered by a bright red, sticky, sweet pulp. The plant has perennial tuberous roots.
Local names for the plant include ''concombre sauvage'' (French for "wild cucumber"), ''nyanya-nua'', ''sσprσpσ'', ''kakle'', ''awoduan'' ("snake food"), ''aoasongo'', ''gaayama'', ''nanïa'', ''n-gessannia'', ''boobo'', ''bobonowron'', ''vovolé'', ''vovoné vono'', ''hepa'', ''ìsúgū'', ''alu-osi'', ''akb’an’udene'', ''ejìnrìn'', ''tsekiri'', and ''a-bos-a-wir''.〔
