The Jenny Lind melon (Cucumis melo) is an heirloom cantaloupe first introduced in the 1840s.
Unlike most other types of cantaloupe, its flesh is light green, rather than orange.
A typical fruit weights between one and two pounds, and has a distinct knob, often known as a turban, on one end.
[1] Like other heirloom plants, Jenny Lind melons are generally not grown commercially.
The plant is commonly believed to have been named for the singer Jenny Lind.
