|discussion=<p>Leaves of <i>Cayaponia quinqueloba</i> (as in <i>C. americana</i> and some other cucurbits) are variable in shape. <i>Cayaponia</i> grandifolia has been treated as distinct from <i>C. quinqueloba</i> based on extremes of leaf form, C. grandifolia with deltate to ovate-deltate lobes broadest at the base (for example, R. K. Godfrey and J. W. Wooten 1981). The range of C. grandifolia is described as Arkansas, Louisiana, and Mississippi, sympatric with <i>C. quinqueloba</i>; only a single variable species appears to exist.</p><!--
--><p>Most collections of <i>Cayaponia quinqueloba</i> show plants with only pistillate flowers, relatively few with both pistillate and staminate flowers (the latter usually relatively less numerous on a given plant).</p><!--
--><p>Apparently pistillate specimens may be from bisexual plants, the sampled portion of the stem lacking staminate flowers.</p>
