The hairy leaves are heart-shaped at the base and are typically palmately lobed. The round or oblong fruits can reach up to 40 cm (16 inches) in length and are hairy when young. Mature fruits are green with a whitish waxy covering and contain flat white seeds about 1 cm (0.4 inch) long. Tags: photography, Wax gourd FlowerCategorised in: Photography
