After seeing the superb pumpkins featured around halloween time in America, I thought to share** this one ..... the tiniest most perfect pumpkin. Fit for the fairies’ Halloween surely ! Found in open scrub areas in Delhi, this blooms in October and fruits soon after. This vine with distinctive gourd like leaves would have been dismissed as another wild cucurbitaceae. I did get a picture of the small yellow flower for later identification, and was rewarded with the miniscule fruit. Fruit and flower both are under 2mm in size. I believe it should be Mukia maderaspatana, featured in Isaac Kehimkar’s book on Indian wildflowers. Is Mukia the only genus of tiny gourds ? I would love to know how the species can be definitely identified. **Photograph Shared on Creative Commons Attribute-Non-derivative License
