1. 2007.

John Kattukunnel 4822 (CAL labeled as holotype, photo available from SSR).
Distribution in India: Kerala. Endemic.
Image: The species is illustrated in the original publication.
GenBank: No published sequences available.
Comments: Based on morphology, this appears to be a hybrid (H. Schafer, pers. comm.
2009). Kattuk. is the standard form of the author Joseph John Kattukunnel, who
has revised Indian Momordica (Joseph and Antony, 2010). The holotype bears the
collection number 4833, not 133 as given in the protologue.
