Plants grown from the gourd family, or Cucurbitaceae family, are also known as Cucurbits. There are approximately 965 different species in this plant family and they come in a diverse range of colours and shapes and there are many more unusual species of the fruit.
Ornamental gourds, typically grown in North America, appear colourful and striped - similar to a squash or marrow - and are often used as decorations, but should not be consumed.
