Most precisely, marrows  (primarily ornamental squash being used as table 
vegetables) are variants of C. pepo ovifers.  Zucchini are a variant of C. 
pepo closely related to C. ovifers, but not considered part of the 
subspecies.

General usage of the term marrow is broader than the taxonomic usage, so any 
number of members of C. pepo from zucchini to pumpkins can be referred to as 
marrows.
