Colocasias furnish the much-cultivated taro of the Pacific tropics, this edible product being the large starchy roots. From it is made the poi of Hawaii. In Japan and other countries the tubers of colocasias are much cultivated, and are handled and eaten much as we use potatoes (see Georgeson, A. G. 13:81). The young leaves of some kinds are boiled and eaten. The dasheen is of the same group. It has been recently introduced from tropical America, and is receiving considerable attention for cultivation in the South. The tubers may also be forced for the tender shoots. Cf. Bull. 164 Bur. Plant Ind. U. S. Dept. Agric. (1910), and subsequent publications of Off. Foreign Seed and PL Intro.
