Currently known as Fockea capensis, We’ve retained the original name for now. This species is from the Eastern and Western Cape Provinces of South Africa. Like Fockea edulis, Fockea crispa is a great cucurbit caudiciform with shiny crinkled leaves; unlike F. edulis, this species grows inland in the Karoo. The stem protrudes above ground and has little warts on the gray skin. The stems have milky sap. Our plants are seedlings in one-gallon pots.
