|discussion=<p>All forms of <i></i>var.<i> melopepo</i> are domesticated; these include most ornamental gourds (for example, Flat-striped, Striped Pear, Bicolor Spoon, Miniature Ball, Mandan, Orange Warted, Warty Hardhead) and the acorn, crookneck, straightneck, scallop, pattypan, summer, and spaghetti squashes. They are hypothesized to be derivatives of <i></i>var.<i> ozarkana</i> (D. S. Decker et al. 1993, 2002b), as <i></i>var.<i> texana</i> has an isozyme pattern distinct from the others (Decker et al. 1993). Wild forms of <i></i>subsp.<i> melopepo</i> once may have been distributed as far as Florida (L. A. Newsom et al. 1993).</p><!--
--><p>Some weedy-habitat populations of <i>Cucurbita melopepo</i> in Illinois and Kentucky may have evolved purely as cultivar escapes; these may also have experienced subsequent introgression with other, nearby, cultivated, weedy, or wild populations of <i></i>var.<i> ozarkana</i> (D. S. Decker et al. 2002b and references therein).</p>
