different. Gherkin is a cucurbitaceous plant grown for its small,
prickly, cylindrical green fruits which are with thin green rinds
and white flesh. Gherkin is a tropical gourd plant and is climbing

There is another West Indian variety called Burr Gherkin (Cucumis
anguria) which is slightly different from pickling gherkins.
