Spherical, scalloped phytoliths isolated from a rind of C. moschata. The phytolith at the bottom is rotated to show the two distinct hemispheres with scalloped impressions of different sizes created from the hypodermal (hh) and mesocarpal (mh) cells. The two phytoliths above it are oriented with their mesocarpal hemispheres (mh) facing upward. These types of phytoliths are characteristic of many species and varieties of Cucurbita.
