Types of Solena

Creeping cucumber

Creeping cucumber (Solena amplexicaulis) is sometimes grown commercially for garden usage, although it needs to be grown against supports that aid its climbing growth. The species gets its common name, Creeping cucumber, from its scrambling growth habit and its cucumber-shaped fruit. The tube-shaped fruits are red at first, then turn green as they mature.
