This vegetable is also common in West Bengal in both cultivated and wild state.As Canada is quite an extension of India due to admirable population of Indians out here we find these vegetable out here too but believe me ivy gourd as well as parwal (Trichosanthes dioica) are imported from India. Due to severe climatic conditions these plants doesn't do quite well out here even in the summer.
