The Canary melon (Cucumis melo (Inodorus group)[1]) or winter melon[2] (not to be confused with the wax gourd, also called winter melon) is a large, bright-yellow elongated melon with a pale green to white inner flesh.

When ripe, the rind has a slightly waxy feel.

The name comes from its bright yellow color, which resembles that of the canary.

This melon is common in parts of Asia including Japan and South Korea, Sicily, Algeria, and Morocco.

[1] Varieties include the smaller, round Fonzy melon, cultivated in Mexico.
