[aroid-l] Eddoe

Here are 6 photos from a tuber that was labeled in the store as
Eddoe. The photos show the transformation from the tuber to a small
plant. 
I understand that the name “Eddoe” is used only in the
English-speaking Caribbean Islands. Other names are also used there
sometimes interchangeably or correctly to mean other Aroids, adding
to the nomenclature confusion.

The English-speaking Caribbean also uses the following names other
than Eddoe,

Dasheen = Colocasia esculenta

Calaloo = Leaves of Colocasia esculenta

Tanier = Xanthosoma sagittifolia

Tannia = Xanthosaoma sagittifolia
