La citrouille (Cucurbita pepo) et le potiron (Cucurbita maxima) sont souvent confondus, car ils se ressemblent beaucoup [...] L'utilisation de la citrouille est plus courante en Amérique du Nord alors que l'usage du potiron est plus usuel en Europe. Ces courges sont volumineuses et pour les distinguer, l'examen de leur pédoncule est nécessaire [...] Celui du potiron est tendre, spongieux, cylindrique et évasé au point d'attache. 4, record 1, French, - potiron
