Cucumis africanus 
15 seeds
 "Wild cucumber"
The fruits of this species, looking like small, prickly and striped cucumbers, were pickled and preserved in Old Cape kitchens.
An ornamental cucumber relative bearing strange 2", spiny, striped fruits. Vining plant. Perennial in warm climates or annual elsewhere. The fruits last long off the vine and are great for decoration. Fruits are not generally considered edible. The vine has some traditional African medicinal uses
As small type fruit have toxins present, it's suggested that for eating purposes the West Indian gherkin seed is rather planted for consumption. It is a domesticated form of the same species, without the risk of toxicity.
