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]

Genera

13, see text

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.

Genera

The genera are:[1]

gollark: You don't need a CPU cooler that much, AMD CPUs ship with a usable one.
gollark: AMD did stealthily make the stock cooler on some of their CPUs slightly worse recently, I remember, but it should still work.
gollark: They would probably be better off upgrading the CPU to a 3600 or something and using the stock cooler.
gollark: Technically, you could use a laser as a really slow and inefficient propulsion system in space, since light has momentum or something.
gollark: > The idea was to mount a system of nuclear bombs in space where these bombs would each power approximately 50 lasers. Upon detonation these lasers would fire and theoretically destroy several dozen incoming nuclear missiles at once.
