Thanks Gurumurthy for this information. I had seen a lot of dosakai in California Indian stores. Most earlier books and some websites still list it as Cucumis sativus, but white flesh and leaves are distinctive. I have described this and many others in my recent book "Know your Fruits and Vegetables: Cucurbits"
