Telfairia occidentalis is a tropical vine grown in West Africa as a leaf vegetable and for its edible seeds. Common names for the plant include fluted gourd, fluted pumpkin, ugu (in the Igbo language), okwukwo-wiri (in Ikwerre language), and ikong-ubong (in the Efik and Ibibio languages). T. occidentalis is a member of the family Cucurbitaceae and is indigenous to southern Nigeria. The fluted gourd grows in many nations of West Africa, but is mainly cultivated in southeastern Nigeria and it is used primarily in soups and herbal medicines. Although the fruit is inedible, the seeds produced by the gourd are high in protein and fat, and can, therefore, contribute to a well-balanced diet. The plant is a drought-tolerant, dioecious perennial that is usually grown trellised.

  • Telfairia occidentalis ( "calabaza costillada" (según FAO), también "calabaza acanalada", y denominada ugu, e ikong-ubong en los idiomas igbo y efik respectivamente) es una especie de planta de la familia Cucurbitaceae. Es una enredadera tropical que crece en África Occidental y que se utiliza como verdura de hoja y por sus semillas comestibles. La planta es nativa del sur de Nigeria.​ La calabaza costillada crece en numerosas naciones de África Occidental, pero es cultivada especialmente en el sureste de Nigeria y se la usa principalmente para preparar sopas y medicinas naturales.​ Si bien el fruto no es comestible, las semillas que produce la calabaza tienen un alto contenido de proteínas y grasas, y por lo tanto su ingesta contribuye a una dieta balanceada. Es una planta tolerante a la sequía, perenne dioica que por lo general es cultivada utilizando espaldares. Tradicionalmente T. occidentalis es utilizada por unos 30 millones de personas nativas de Nigeria, incluidos los pueblos Efik, Ibibio, y Urhobo.​ Sin embargo, es predominantemente utilizada por el pueblo Igbo , quienes continúan cultivando la calabaza como fuente de alimentación y para uso en medicina tradicional.​ La calabaza costillada es un tema recurrente en el folclore del pueblo Igbo, la calabaza costillada es valorada por sus propiedades curativas y se la utilizaba como tónico fortalecedor, que se le daba a los débiles o enfermos.​ Es una especie endémica del sur de Nigeria, y era un bien utilizado en las actividades comerciales del pueblo Igbo.​ (es)

The plant is a drought-tolerant, dioecious perennial that is usually grown trellised. T. occidentalis is traditionally used by an estimated 30 to 35 million people indigenous people in Nigeria, including the Efik, Ibibio, Ikwerre, and Urhobo. However, it is predominantly used by the Igbo ethnic group, who continue to cultivate the gourd for food sources and traditional medicines. A recurring subject in the Igbo’s folklore, the fluted gourd is noted to have healing properties and was used as a blood tonic, to be administered to the weak or ill. It is endemic to southern Nigeria, and was an asset to international food trades of the Igbo ethnic group. (en)
