Initial Editorial Comments one record in SMASCH, UC632475 (unknown collector, Jul 1919, in highway right of way, Madera, Madera Co.); in no way mentioned in Abrams & Ferris, Illustrated Flora of the Pacific States, Munz, Munz Supplement, The Jepson Manual [Ed. 1]; indicated as native, no closer to California than TX in Kartesz & Meacham; according to Source c, status uncertain (cited collection not recent; degree of naturalization not addressed), although conditions of cited occurrence (highway right-of-way) might not qualify for inclusion in the flora according to criteria employed by Jepson Flora Project (13 Feb 2003).

Editorial Comments 1 Correspondence 1, in a note under Cucumis melo L. var. dudaim (L.) Naudin, indicates that Cucumis anguria L. is naturalized in w Mex, implying that it is not naturalized in CA, and suggesting but not confirming that the taxon is not a waif in California either.
