It is an annual creeping or shelving herbaceous plant with stems covered in yellow brown hairs and long soft hairs; The petiole is thick and robust, covered with yellow brown hairs and long soft hairs; The leaves are kidney shaped and nearly circular, with wide triangular or ovate lobes. Yellow flowers, usually monoecious, flowering in summer; The fruit is cylindrical or nearly spherical, with hard hairs and white frost, and the fruiting period is in summer; The seeds are round, flat, and have swollen edges. Winter melon is called "white melon" because when it is ripe, the surface of the melon skin will be covered with a layer of white powder, which looks like winter frost.
