Sechium

Sechium was a genus of plants now subsumed into the genus Sicyos:[1] also placed in the tribe Sicyoeae of the gourd family, Cucurbitaceae.Its best known member was the edible and widely cultivated chayote (now Sicyos edulis).Several species formerly placed in genus Sechium have now been placed in other genera.Several other species names are unplaced – "names that cannot be accepted, nor can they be put into synonymy".[2] This Cucurbitales article is a stub.
