A gourd is a plant from the same family as Squash or Pumpkin. Often the fruit are used by retaining the dried skin and husk on the outside and using the inside, hollowed out, for storage, decoration, lanterns and Musical Instruments.

Gourds belong to the family Cucurbitaceae. More often than not people mean the fruit when they use the term 'gourd' although it does refer, also, to the entire plant.
