The charts divide the hard shelled gourds into 3 groups: long gourds, kettle/bottle gourds, and small/other gourds. However, by looking at the shape, it would seem some gourds should be on a different chart. It is unclear why the Mexican bottle, Hyakunari, and Sennari are not with the kettle/bottle gourds. Perhaps the bushel and canteen gourds belong with the small/other gourds? Bushel gourds are known for NOT being small, so why on the small/other chart?
Back to the basics, before these were put into groups, what are the categories of gourds overall?
