Xanthosoma sagittifolium, Schott (Arum sagittifolium, Linn.). Yautia. Malanga. Fig. 4014. A tropical vegetable. "Young plants of this are stemless, but in age, from the decay of the old lvs., an annulated caudex or corm is formed some inches in height, each throwing out stout fibers from the base, and from time to time producing offsets by which the plant is easily prop., or if suffered to remain the plant becomes tufted, and numerous lvs. are produced from the summit of the short, yet st.-like trunks" (B.M. 4989). Lvs. 1-2 or almost 3 ft. long, broadly sagittate-ovate, suddenly and shortly acute at apex, basal lobes obtuse: spathe large, with a creamy white limb. Trop. Amer.—In northern hothouses said to bloom in winter. The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture.
