Cyclanthera pedata 
10 seeds 
"Wild cucumber"

Vigorous climber producing small edible pods similar to okra.  The 5 to 8 cm fruits have a tender, crunchy white flesh with a bean, cucumber flavor.  The immature fruits may be eaten raw or pickled. The young shoots and leaves may also be eaten as greens. The mature fruit are also prepared as stuffed peppers; stuffed with meat, fish or cheese and then baked 
Divided foliage and delicate flowers make this plant also a valuable ornamental. But take note that this plant is requires a lot of space to grow.
Seeds are interestingly turtle-shaped. When ripe, the fruits become spring-loaded missile devices, & turn themselves inside-out to launch their seeds away into the garden.
