What is a "honeydew melon"?

The honeydew melon, also known as the Casaba melon, is characterized by its smooth rind, which can be green or yellowish, and lacks a musky odor. It typically has a round to slightly oval shape and pale green flesh. Honeydew melons contain seeds, but the main edible part is the inner flesh, often enjoyed as a dessert. Maturity can be judged by the color of the rind, which shifts from greenish white when immature to creamy yellow when mature.

Examples
Honeydew melon is my favorite summer fruit.
02

any of a variety of muskmelon vines having fruit with a smooth white rind and white or greenish flesh that does not have a musky smell
