Cucumis melo


Explanation:
It is a whole family of different plants, many similar in appearance but other quite different. The Canteloupe and the *almizclero o almizcleño* are included in the family but are not the only ones. The Honey Dew is also part of the family as well as many others.

Since it is refering to the the growing conditions and such I think it may be better to stick to the family name and not to specific species.
