Cucurbita scabridifolia is a plant species of the genus Cucurbita^[1]^[2]^[3] native to Mexico. It is a xerophyte and has not been domesticated.^[2]^[4] Very little is known about this species. Geographic location and genetics make it highly likely that C. scabridifolia is a naturally occurring hybrid of C. foetidissima and C. pedatifolia.^[5]

The species was formally described by Liberty Hyde Bailey in 1943, in Gentes Herbarum.^[1]
