[aroid-l] Eddoe

From: The Thaumaturgist asitkghosh at yahoo.com> on 2002.08.19 at 03:39:31(9226) 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 1) Bought from the store, a close-up http://www.geocities.com/bohuroopi/Eddoe01ASIT 2) Three different ones http://www.geocities.com/bohuroopi/Eddoe02ASIT 3) Multiple sprouts from one, in a small pot http://www.geocities.com/bohuroopi/Eddoe03ASIT 4) 3 distinct sprouts developing from one http://www.geocities.com/bohuroopi/Eddoe04ASIT 5) A baby leaf after the rain http://www.geocities.com/bohuroopi/Eddoe05ASIT 6) A mature Eddoe leaf http://www.geocities.com/bohuroopi/Eddoe06ASIT Asit K.
