Good evening, UMN Extension!
I please was wondering if Echinocystis lobata & "Bar cucumber" are related in any way to the "wild cucumber/manroot" of the Marah genus?
Thank you very much,

Expert Response
These species are related in so far as they are all members of the gourd family or Cucurbitaceae.
