Name: water melon

Other Names: Citrullus lanatus

Description: Water Melon is a tropical fruit which contains almost 98 % water. It is a member of the cucurbit family. The fruit of the plant is fleshy and contains a lot of potassium. It is an excellent diuretic and very helpful in kidney stones and renal insufficiency.

Watermelon (Citrullus lanatus (Thunb.) Matsum & Nakai, family Cucurbitaceae) refers to both fruit and plant of a vine-like (climber and trailer) herb originally from southern Africa and one of the most common types of melon. This flowering plant produces a special type of fruit known by botanists as a pepo, which has a thick rind (exocarp) and fleshy center (mesocarp and endocarp); pepos are derived from an inferior ovary and are characteristic of the Cucurbitaceae. The watermelon fruit, loosely considered a type of melon (although not in the genus Cucumis), has a smooth exterior rind (green and yellow) and a juicy, sweet, usually red, but sometimes orange, yellow, or pink interior flesh.
