{{Inc| Arrow-Root. An edible starch, derived from the rhizomes of various scitaminaceous plants, as Maranta, Curcuma, Tacca, Canna. The West Indian arrow-root is mostly from Maranta arundinacea. The Brazilian is from Manihot utilissima. The East Indian is chiefly from Curcuma angustifolia. Potato and maize starches are also a source of arrow-root. In the United States starch is secured from Cassava (Manihot utilissima) and is used as a substitute for arrow-root. See Cyclo. Amer. Agric., Vol. II, p. 199, with figure of Maranta arundinacea. }} ==Cultivation== ===Propagation=== ===Pests and diseases=== ==Varieties== ==Gallery== <gallery perrow=5> Image:Upload.png| photo 1 Image:Upload.png| photo 2 Image:Upload.png| photo 3 </gallery> ==References== <references/> *[[Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture]], by L.
