:This page is about the ''Solanum muricatum'' described by William Aiton. ''S. furcatum'' was also called thus by Bertero based on Dunal. :''"Pepino" redirects here; similar plants are also known by that name (see text). For the municipality in Toledo, see Pepino, Spain. ''Solanum muricatum'' is a species of evergreen shrub native to South America and grown for its sweet edible fruit. It is known as ''pepino dulce'' ("sweet cucumber" in English, in order to differentiate it from cucumber which is also called "pepino" in Spanish) or simply pepino; the latter is also used for similar species such as ''"S. mucronatum"'' (which actually seems to belong in the related genus ''Lycianthes''). The pepino dulce fruit resembles a melon (''Cucumis melo'') in color, and its flavor recalls a succulent mixture of honeydew and cucumber, and thus it is also sometimes called pepino melon or melon pear, but pepinos are only very distantly related to melons and pears. Another common name, "tree melon", is more often used for the Papaya (''Carica papaya'') though the pepino dulce plant generally does not look much like a tree; it looks more like a ground cover, trailing plant. The present species is, however, a close relative of other nightshades cultivated for their fruit, including the tomato (''S. lycopersicum'') and the eggplant (''S. melongena''), which its own fruit closely resembles. The fruit is common in markets in Colombia, Ecuador, Bolivia, Peru and Chile, but less often overseas because it is quite sensitive to handling and does not travel well. Attempts to produce commercial cultivars and to export the fruit have been made in New Zealand, Turkey, Mauritius and Chile.〔 == Distribution and habitat == The pepino dulce is presumed to be native to the temperate Andean regions of Colombia, Peru and Chile, though it is not known in the wild and the details of its domestication are unknown.〔 The pepino is a domesticated native of the Andes. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「:This page is about the ''Solanum muricatum'' described by William Aiton.
