Abstract

A phylogenetic hypothesis was developed for the 44 CucumisCucumella species using 122 morphological characters. Oreosyce africana and Mukia maderaspatana served as the outgroup. The qualitative characters alone yielded a more resolved hypothesis than the qualitative and quantitative characters combined. Cucumis was polyphyletic, and Cucumella paraphyletic, sensu Farris. The Cucumella species are transferred to Cucumis, making it a monophyletic group. When the CucumisCucumella species were reanalyzed with the known hybrid Cucumis  hytivus, it had little affect on the phylogenetic hypothesis, and its hybridity and parentage could not be deduced from the results.
