“…Some species, such as Coccinia adoensis and Coccinia grandiflora (and most likely also Coccinia senensis (Klotzsch) Cogn. and Coccinia schliebenii ), however, produce globular subterranean root tubers, much like potatoes, but smaller in size (Holstein and Renner 2011b; Zimmermann 1922b; pers. observ.).…”

“…Many species, such as Coccinia abyssinica , Coccinia grandis , Coccinia hirtella , Coccinia megarrhiza , Coccinia microphylla , Coccinia rehmannii , Coccinia sessilifolia , and Coccinia trilobata , produce a lignified tuber that is derived from the hypocotyl (Zimmermann 1922b; pers. observ., Fig.…”

“…The length of the shoots varies from 70 cm in Coccinia microphylla to 20 m in Coccinia grandiflora and Coccinia mildbraedii . Zimmermann (1922a) reports a stem of Coccinia grandiflora being 6 cm in diameter. Usually, the bark of the hypocotyl tuber and the shoots is grayish in color.…”

“…The coloration of teeth is inconspicuous in young plants and develops during maturation (as observed in Coccinia abyssinica , Coccinia grandis , and Coccinia megarrhiza ). The teeth are interpreted as hydathodes by Zimmermann (1922a), because he observed water drops in Coccinia grandis and Coccinia trilobata on the teeth of the 2 nd order (except those of the tip of the lobes) in the morning. A white deposit at the teeth on the upper side of the leaf of a Coccinia adoensis plant ( P. Quarré 75 ; PR) seems to support Zimmermann’s interpretation.…”

This monograph deals with all 95 names described in the Cucurbitaceae genus Coccinia and recognizes 25 species. Taxonomic novelties are Coccinia adoensis var. aurantiaca (C.Jeffrey) Holstein, stat. nov., Coccinia sessilifolia var. variifolia (A.Meeuse) Holstein, stat. nov., and Coccinia adoensis var. jeffreyana Holstein, var. nov. For the 25 species 3157 collections were examined, of which 2024 were georeferenced to produce distribution maps. All species are distributed in sub-Saharan Africa with one species, Coccinia grandis, extending from Senegal in West Africa east to Indonesia and being naturalized on Pacific Islands, in Australia, the Caribbean, and South America. Coccinia species are dioecious creepers or climbers with simple or bifid tendrils that occupy a range of habitats from arid scrubland, woodlands to lowland rainforest and mist forest. The corolla of Coccinia species is sympetalous, usually pale yellow to orange, and 1 to 4.5 cm long. Pollination is by bees foraging for pollen or nectar. After pollination, the developing ovary often exhibits longitudinal mottling, which usually disappears during maturation. All species produce berries with a pericarp in reddish colors (orange-red through to scarlet red), hence the generic name. The globose to cylindrical fruits contain numerous grayish-beige flat to lenticular seeds. Chromosome numbers are 2n = 20, 24, and 22 + XX/XY. Many Coccinia species are used for food, either as roasted tubers, greens as spinach, or the fruits as vegetables. Medicinal value is established in Coccinia grandis, of which leaves and sap are used against diabetes.
