The Cucurbiteae are a tribe of the subfamily Cucurbitoideae, which is part of the flowering plant family Cucurbitaceae (gourds). Species are usually monoecious herbaceous annuals or woody lianas.[1]
The tribe consists of 13 genera reported,[2] but a 2011 study based on genetics reported 11.[1] Members of the genus Cucurbita produce economically valuable fruits, namely squashes and pumpkins.
