Cucurbita galeottii is a plant species of the genus Cucurbita.[1][2][3] It is native to Oaxaca, Mexico.[4] It has not been domesticated.[5][6] There is very little known about this species.[7] Nee reports that the species is a xerophyte and that Bailey only saw the species in photographs. It is only known from specimens that "lack roots, female flowers, fruits and seeds".[2]
The species was formally described by Alfred Cogniaux in 1881, in the third volume of Alphonse and Casimir de Candolle's Monographiæ Phanerogamarum.[3]
