Sicyos angulatus, also known as the oneseed bur cucumber or star-cucumber, is an annual vine in the gourd family native to eastern North America. It has long branching stems that can climb or trail across the ground, with palmately veined and lobed leaves and green to yellowish green flowers. The plant is monoecious, with separate male and female blooms, and produces small clusters of fruits. It is found in fertile, moist habitats and is considered an invasive species in Europe, where it was introduced as an ornamental plant in the 18th century. The plant is pollinated by bees and other insects, and is a food source for some herbivorous insects. Its foliage can be cooked and eaten, and a decoction of the plant has been used for medicinal purposes.
