The Japanese muskmelon (Sub-group Earl's) resembles the American cantaloupe in netted rind, but differs in green flesh and non-dehiscent peduncles (which means the melon does not detach from the stalk when it is ripe). Therefore, some horticulturists classify the Japanese muskmelon under Inodorus Group instead of Cantalupensis or Reticulatus Group.
Cucumis melo, also known as melon, [2] [3] is a species of Cucumis that has been developed into many cultivated varieties. The fruit is a pepo.The flesh is either sweet or bland, with or without an aroma, and the rind can be smooth (such as honeydew), ribbed (such as European cantaloupe), wrinkled (such as Cassaba melon), or netted (such as American cantaloupe).
The Galia melon, also known as sarda in Southeast Asia, is a type of F 1 hybrid melon (Cucumis melo) originating from a cross between the green-flesh cantaloupe (Cantalupensis Group) 'Ha'Ogen' and the netted-rind early melon (Chandalak Group) 'Krymka' (sometimes as 'Krimka').
Watermelon and melon in India. Melons were thought to have originated in Africa. [6] However, recent studies suggest a Southwest Asian origin, especially Iran and India; [7] [8] from there, they gradually began to appear in Europe toward the end of the Western Roman Empire.

The oriental melon (Cucumis melo Makuwa Group) is a group of Cucumis melo cultivars that are produced in East Asia. [1] [2] Phylogenetic studies tracing the genetic lineage of the plant suggest that it may have originated in eastern India, having then spread to China over the Silk Road, from which it was introduced to Korea and Japan.
