Matsum. et Nakai），为葫芦科西瓜属一年生蔓生藤本植物，又名寒瓜、水瓜、西瓜皮等。茎、枝粗壮，被白色或淡黄褐色长柔毛。叶片纸质，轮廓三角状卵形，带白绿色。雌雄同株，雌、雄花均单生于叶腋。果实大型，近于球形或椭圆形，果皮光滑，色泽及纹饰各式。种子多数，卵形，黑色、红色，有时为白色、黄色、淡绿色或有斑纹。花果期夏季。在中国，西瓜因从西域（中国新疆和中亚一带）地区传入，因而得名西瓜，即来自西方的瓜。 西瓜原产于非洲热带地区，广泛栽培于世界热带到温带地区；中国各地广泛栽培。西瓜为短日照植物，喜阳光充足的环境，较耐高温，不耐寒，对土壤适应性较广，适宜种植在弱酸性、土质疏松、土层深厚、排水良好的河岸冲积土和耕作层深厚的砂质壤土上。西瓜人工繁殖主要有播种、嫁接及扦插三种繁殖方式。 西瓜的果瓤、外层果皮、种仁、种皮以及根、叶或藤茎、果皮和皮硝混合制成的白色结晶性粉末(西瓜霜)均可作中药材入药。其果实主要用于鲜食，含有丰富的蛋白质、碳水化合物、粗纤维、钾、磷、钙、铁、钠等；种子含有芳香油，可炒食，还可加工制成西瓜膏、西瓜冻等。此外，新鲜的西瓜皮与经过酸化后的西瓜茎叶，猪、牛比较喜食，可用作饲料。 ## Images 1.
