<p><b>New page</b></p><div>'''Luffa acutangula''' is a tropical and subtropical vine of the family [[Cucurbitaceae]], commonly known as the '''ridged gourd''', '''sponge gourd''', '''Chinese okra''' or '''tori'''. It is an annual plant that is native to the [[Indian subcontinent]] and now grown worldwide for its fruit, which is used as a vegetable and in traditional medicine.<br />
<br />
== Description ==<br />
[[Luffa acutangula]] is a climbing plant that can reach lengths of up to 30 feet. The plant has tendrils that help it climb and attach to supporting structures. The leaves are large, up to 12 inches in diameter, and have a distinctive lobed shape. The flowers are yellow and the fruit is a long, ridged gourd that can reach lengths of up to 12 inches.<br />
<br />
== Cultivation ==<br />
[[Luffa acutangula]] is grown in tropical and subtropical regions around the world. It prefers a warm, humid climate and well-drained soil. The plant is typically grown from seeds, which are sown in the spring after the last frost. The vines need a trellis or other support to climb on. The fruits are harvested when they are young and tender, before the skin becomes tough and the seeds harden.<br />
<br />
