Armenian Cucumber (Cucumis melo) - (a.k.a. Snake Melon) One of the oldest heirlooms first introduced from Armenia into Italy in the 15th century. Although eaten as a cucumber, the Armenian Cucumber or Snake Melon as it was once called is actually botanically a melon (Cucumis melo); therefore, it can cross with cantaloupe or muskmelons but not with cucumbers. The long green, ridged fruit can grow to three feet long but should be eaten at 10-12 inch long. The long fruit tends to coil when grown on the ground similar in appearance to a snake.
