Cucurbita Moschata
''Cucurbita moschata'' is a species originating in either Central America or northern South America. It includes cultivars known as squash or pumpkin. ''C. moschata'' cultivars are generally more tolerant of hot, humid weather than cultivars of '' C. maxima'' or '' C. pepo''. They also generally display a greater resistance to disease and insects, especially to the squash vine borer. Commercially made pumpkin pie mix is most often made from varieties of ''C. moschata''. The ancestral species of the genus ''Cucurbita'' were present in the Americas before the arrival of humans. Evolutionarily speaking the genus is relatively recent in origin as no species within the genus is genetically isolated from all the other species. ''C. moschata'' acts as the genetic bridge within the genus and is closest to the genus' progenitor. All species of squashes and pumpkins are native to the Western Hemisphere.Victor E.
