There are new research results concerning the origin of calabash, it seems to have an African origin. I complemented this article with an according part out of the featured hungarian  Lopótök article. Karmela (talk) 12:32, 14 July 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Genetic analysis shows that the American gourd is closest to the Asian sub-species, which is itself related to the African sub-species, and probably derived from it.  This analysis strongly supports the hypothesis that the gourd was an early domesticate which came with the first migrants from Asia to the Americas.  It has been found along the Pacific coast of the Americas, used as a float for fishing nets. Tmangray (talk) 21:01, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

message: the Sherlock Holmes's pipe reference made me think that they're only a few centimeters in size, but to be used as a canteen or a bowl, they must be more like 15-20 centimeters in diameter.  How big are they?  --85.116.207.246 00:31, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

message: "In Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, and Brazil, calabash gourds are dried and carved into mates, the traditional container for the popular caffeinated tealike drink (also called mate)"
In Brazil the recipient for drinking mate is called cuia, not mate! Is it different in Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay? As the text is, it seems it's called that way in Brazil but it's not. Flavio Costa (talk) 16:05, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

message: I found a site, here, that states that L. vulgaris is a synonym, but it doesn't identify which of its sources in the site's bibliography is the reference for this.  Can we still use it, though?--Mr Fink (talk) 21:08, 22 October 2011 (UTC)

message: This article claims that Calabash, under the name of morro seed or jicaro, is used to make certain forms of horchata, but the article on Crescentia alata, or Mexican Calabash, makes the same claim.
To add to the confusion, the article on horchata links to both this article and to Crescentia alata.
I wonder if the connection between Calabash and horchata is spurious.

message: this "This apparent domestication source plant produces thinner-walled fruit that, when dried, would not endure the rigors of use on long journeys as a water container" 
and this "Today's gourd may owe its tough, waterproof wall to selection pressures over its long history of domestication"
Appear contradictory. Am I missing something?
