Text Appearing Before Image:
is question to the linguists to decide,and shall adopt Xanthosoma as the name most in favor with ourpeople. Sagittifolia is from the resemblance of the leaves to anarrow-head. The species seems to have no generally recognized commonname, but its local name in North Carolina, according to acommunication from Dr. Thos. F. Wood, of Wilmington, inthat State, is Arrow-leaved Spoonflow^r. The same Englishappellation, Spoonflower, was also adopted for the genus byDr. Curtis, late State botanist of North Carolina, in his Cat-alogue of Indigenous Plants. We have already noted that the plant is used as a vegetable.Dr. Lindley tells us that a starchy substance, called choucaraib in the country where it is extracted, is prepared fromthe roots.
