To solve this problem, it has been proposed to conserve the name Citrullus lanatus with a new type to preserve the current sense of the name Citrullus consists of the following species and subspecies: Citrullus amarus Schrad. (wikipedia.org)

Citrullus is a genus of seven species of desert vines, among which Citrullus lanatus (the watermelon) is an important crop. (wikipedia.org)
Molecular data, including sequences from the original collection of Momordica lanata made near Cape Town by C. P. Thunberg in 1773, show that what Thunberg collected is not what has been called Citrullus lanatus, the domesticated watermelon, since the 1930s. (wikipedia.org)
Phylogenetically, Citrullus is placed in the tribe Benincaseae, where it groups with the African genera Peponium and Lagenaria (Schaefer et al. (cucurbit.de)

Humboldt's 1815 depiction, by contrast, shows a distribution of high-vegetation belts that is consistent with La Condamine's description, while the 1824 depiction drops innovations made in 1815 and returns to simply showing numerous species' names, thus not applying Humboldt's own earlier zonation framework.
