Remarks

doi:10.1007/s12228-021-09688-3 Etymology: 'The specific epithet suggests the resemblance of the cluster of calyx lobes to pompoms, which are large clusters of brightly colored streamers often waved in pairs by cheerleaders or fans at sporting events. The specific epithet is derived from Middle French pépon, from Latin peponem (accusative of Pepo or melon).'
