Pumpkin is actually called "Pepo" from "Cucurbita pepo" in Japanese FKG.
There doesn't seem to be any rule, and Nutaku's translators are far too lazy/unimaginative to pick/think of cooler-sounding names.

Latin is all fun and games until you get really fucked up-sounding terminology like "Physalis alkekengi" , "Ionopsis utricularioides" , or "Iberis sempervirens."
Does pic related look like someone named "Sempervirens" ?
