Austrobryonia Micrantha
''Austrobryonia micrantha'', commonly known as desert cucumber or mallee cucumber, is a species of flowering plant belonging to the family Cucurbitaceae, native to inland Australia. ''Austrobryonia micrantha'' is a perennial that grows back every year from its thick root, even after the stems wither. The plant typically grows as a dense mat with horizontally spreading stems that alternate, extending over several metres. When fruiting, it produces a heavy crop of fruit on stems that are thin and ribbed, with rough hairs. The plant produces simple tendrils that reach up to 40 mm in length. The leaves are rough to the touch and have a wide, heart-shaped, or oval shape with the edges being toothed or slightly divided into 3-7 lobes. They measure long and wide. During the dry season, the stems wither, and grow back when stimulated by heavy rains or flooding, usually from the wet season. Flowers and fruits Flowering Flowering and fruiting occur between the months of January an ...

Cucurbitaceae
The Cucurbitaceae, also called cucurbits or the gourd family, are a plant family consisting of about 965 species in around 95 genera, of which the most important to humans are: *''Cucurbita'' – squash, pumpkin, zucchini, some gourds *''Lagenaria'' – calabash, and others that are inedible *''Citrullus'' – watermelon (''C. lanatus'', ''C. colocynthis'') and others *''Cucumis'' – cucumber (''C. sativus''), various melons and vines *''Momordica'' – bitter melon *''Luffa'' – the common name is also luffa, sometimes spelled loofah (when fully ripened, two species of this fibrous fruit are the source of the loofah scrubbing sponge) *''Cyclanthera'' – Caigua The plants in this family are grown around the tropics and in temperate areas, where those with edible fruits were among the earliest cultivated plants in both the Old and New Worlds. The family Cucurbitaceae ranks among the highest of plant families for number and percentage of species used as human food. The name ' ...

Flowering Plant
Flowering plants are plants that bear flowers and fruits, and form the clade Angiospermae (), commonly called angiosperms. The term "angiosperm" is derived from the Greek words ('container, vessel') and ('seed'), and refers to those plants that produce their seeds enclosed within a fruit. They are by far the most diverse group of land plants with 64 orders, 416 families, approximately 13,000 known genera and 300,000 known species. Angiosperms were formerly called Magnoliophyta (). Like gymnosperms, angiosperms are seed-producing plants. They are distinguished from gymnosperms by characteristics including flowers, endosperm within their seeds, and the production of fruits that contain the seeds. The ancestors of flowering plants diverged from the common ancestor of all living gymnosperms before the end of the Carboniferous, over 300 million years ago. The closest fossil relatives of flowering plants are uncertain and contentious. The earliest angiosperm fossils ar ...
