mango melon

The mango melon, also known as a lemon cucumber, is a variety of muskmelon (Cucumis melo chito). This plant produces fruit that resembles oranges and is typically used for making pickles and preserves. Melons, in general, are frost-tender annuals native to central Asia, grown for their edible fruits. The mango melon belongs to the Cucumis melo species, which encompasses a wide variety of cultivated melons. While the mango fruit (Mangifera indica) is a different species entirely, the mango melon shares part of its name.123
