Luffa tuberosa Roxb. (Cucurbitaceae) is of great interest to taxonomists due to its debatable taxonomic statusunder the genus Luffa and Momordica. The systematic study was attempted to provide evidence supportinginclusion of L. tuberosa Roxb. under Momordica as M. tuberosa (Roxb.) Cogn. (syn M. cymbalaria Hk.f.). In thepresent investigation comparison was made among some neglected morphological characters using 16 accessionsof Luffa and six of Momordica. These characters were fruit peduncle shape, nature of pericarp, ornamentationof fruit wall, seed structure and seed dispersal mechanism
