Cucurbits crops are being cultivated in many places of Japan including Okinawa. Sub-tropical local varieties of cucurbits crops are disappearing from Okinawa. We explored for Cucurbitaceous crops on Okinawa from August 8 to 14, 1994. A total of 50 samples were collected on Okinawa. 34 samples of Balsam pear (Momordica charantia), 7 samples of Sponge gourd (Luffa cylindrica), 6 samples of pumpkin (Cucurbita moschata), 2 samples of Oriental melon (Cucumis melo) and 1 sample of White gourd (Benincasa hispida) were collected.
