Hybrid according to Korean paper
Hi, I have grown several varieties of Cucurbita moschata but the plant in the picture does not look like a pure C.moschata. It looks like a crossbreed (I don't know the correct English word). I have been crossing C.Pepo with C.Moschata and also C. Moschata with C. Maxima for several years myself. The plant and fruit in the picture looks excactly like one of them. I know my personal experience is not relevant (WP:NOR). However the references included in the wikipedia article indicate that Seoulmadi is an interspecific hybrid. Unfortunatly, only the title of the paper is in English. The paper itself is in Korean. I am very intrigued by these breeds of squash and would like to know more about its origin. Hopefuly someone who can read Korean can help. We could improve this article and I could also translate it into Dutch and create an article on the Dutch Wikipedia. 143.176.56.102 (talk) 10:16, 7 November 2017 (UTC)


 * Could you help us in translating the Korean sources? ʍw 18:47, 7 November 2017 (UTC)
 * 1976 Korean is more of mix with Korean and Hanja (as I glanced over the paper), and 'translating' hanja will take 10x more time than translating plain Korean. I'm busy in other stuff right now so I can't help you, sorry! &mdash; regards, Revi 01:51, 8 November 2017 (UTC)
 * @143.176.56.102 and : This article might intersts you.
 * As the article mentions, squashes and pumpkins from Korea are mostly C. moschata. Hybrid cultivars of the Korean cultigens are either intraspecific hybrids of C. moschata or interspecific ones developed using the "native" varieties (C. moschata) and "foreign" ones (e.g. C. pepo or C. maxima varieties). The "native" varieties I think refer to the ones that were introduced to Korea through China before the modern era (e.g. hobak mentioned in ). --Munui (talk) 09:56, 12 February 2018 (UTC)
