Re: Tropical vegetation !

Dear Eduardo:

 

What is the natural range of X. maffafa and how does it differ from X. sagittifolium. Are both distributed widely and cultivated to the same extent?

 

Tom

Dear John, 

Locally where? Really looks like Xanthosoma mafaffa. 

Very best wishes,

Eduardo.

Please see attached photo of a “wild” (i.e. not cultivated)  Xanthosoma called locally “Toyo”.  The stem or trunk is fed to pigs. The guy in the photo is 5 feet 9 inches tall.
