Cyclanthera pedata
''Cyclanthera pedata'', locally known by its Quechua names kaywa〔 see: ''achoqcha''〕 (pronounced ''kai-wa'', hispanicized spellings ''caigua, caihua, caygua, cayua'') or achuqcha〔 (also spelled ''achocha, achogcha, achojcha, achokcha''), is a herbaceous vine grown for its edible mature fruit, which is predominantly used as a vegetable. ''Kaywa'' is known from cultivation only, and its large fruit size as compared to closely related wild species suggests that it is a fully domesticated crop. Its use goes back many centuries as evidenced by ancient phytomorphic ceramics from Peru depicting the fruits. It is also known as slipper gourd, lady's slipper, sparrow gourd (), pepino in Colombia, stuffing cucumber in English, korila in the Philippines, and olochoto and kichipoktho in Bhutan. It is also called chuche karela in Nepal and Southern Bhutan.
==Origin and distribution==
Domesticated in the Andes and traditionally distributed from Colombia to Bolivia, the ''kaywa'' is now grown in many parts of Central America and also in parts of the Eastern Hemisphere tropics. For example, ''kaywa'' is very popular in northeastern India, Nepal and Bhutan.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=''Cyclanthera pedata'': from the Andes to the Himalayas )〕 The Moche culture had a fascination with agriculture and displayed this in their art. The ''kaywa'' was often depicted in their ceramics.
