Does anyone know a name for this type of small C. moschata papumkins? I've only seen them sold in Turkish or Moroccan groceries, where they are lumped together with butternut squash and sold at the same price under the same name. I suppose they're grown somewhere around the Mediterranean or so. It's a small brownish, more or less pumkin-shaped moschata squash, and the taste (and inside color) is similar to the butternuts. (The apple is a big-sized Jonagold) Also; while we're at it: this is a butternut that tries to pass for a zuchini. Does such a thing have a name?

There are a lot of then, but I've never seen these ones listed.
Maybe they're just the pumpkin-shaped form of a variable butternut landrace that's grown by our Morrocan friends? They are often together as if they're the same vegetable...

I don't know about the mysterious pumpkins, but a name for the butternut-in-disguise? Buchini, zutternut, zutterini, maybe... buchinut??

In the GRIN genebank, there are lots of pumpin like moschatas, mostly wildish types, most of them are not butternut looking, a type evidently selected from buttoning to get more flesh...as for the size, dunno, but I get lots of smallish ones at the end of the season LOL!!

the last photos looks more like an unripe moschata than a cross with something other!
