Cantaloupe, e.g (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

melon

'cantaloupe eg' is the definition.
(I know that Cucumis melo cantalupensis is a type of Cucumis melo)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for melon that I've seen before include "Large sweet gourd" , "US profits" , "Fruit of the gourd family with a hard rind and juicy flesh" , "Ogen or cantaloupe, for instance" , "Large vine fruit" .)

I've seen this clue in the L.A. Times Daily, the King Feature Syndicate, the LA Times, The Star Tribune, the New York Times, the Universal and The Mirror.
