Cucurbita palmata is a sprawling vine with the above-the-ground part of the plant rough to the touch usually owing to short, stiff hairs. The stiff, curling yellow flowers are 6-8 cm wide. The plant bears smooth spherical or almost spherical squash fruits 8 to 10 centimeters wide. The fruits ripen from green with greenish-white stripes to bright yellow and then pale gold when the gourd is dry.The striped, green gourds are fibrous and unpalatable inside, but ground seeds were eaten by native Indians, and the dried gourds were used as rattles in dances.
