	'''''Trichosanthes dioica''''', also known as '''pointed gourd''',<ref>{{GRIN \| ~~accessdate~~=27 September 2015}}</ref> is a vine plant in the family [[Cucurbitaceae]], similar to [[cucumber]] and [[squash (fruit)\|squash]], though unlike those it is perennial. It is a dioecious (male and female plants) vine (creeper) plant with heart-shaped leaves (cordate) and is grown on a trellis. The fruits are green with white or no stripes. Size can vary from small and round to thick and long — 2 to 6 inches (5 to 15 cm). It thrives well under a hot to moderately warm and humid climate. The plant remains dormant during the winter season and prefers a fertile, well-drained sandy loam soil due to its susceptibility to water-logging.
