Dioscorea Batatas, Decne. (D. divaricata, Auth., not Blanco). Yam. Chinese Yam. Chinese Potato. Cinnamon- Vine. Tall climbing (10-30 ft.), the lvs. 7-9-ribbed, cordate-ovate and shining, short-petioled, bearing small clusters of cinnamon-scented white fls. in the axils: root- tubers deep in the ground, 2-3 ft. long, usually larger at the lower end. Philippines. F.S. 10:971. R.H. 1854, pp. 247, 451, 452.—This is often grown in the tropics for its edible tubers, which, however, are difficult to dig. In this country the word yam is commonly applied to a tribe of sweet potatoes (see Sweet Potato). The yam is hardy. The root will remain in the ground over winter in New York, and send up handsome tall twining shoots in the spring. The plant bears little tubers in the lf.-axils, and these are usually planted to produce the cinnamon vine; but it is not until the second year that plants grown from these tubercles produce the large or full-grown yams. A form with short and potato-like tubers is D. Decaisneana, Carr. (R.H. 1865:110).—A vine widely cult. since 1910 under the name air potato" or "giant yam vine" has large potato-shaped bitter tubers. Its identity is in doubt. It is not D. divaricata, under which name it was intro. from Hawaii, nor D. bulbifera, which has angular and edible aerial tubers. In order to distinguish it from the latter, it has recently been called the Hawaiian bitter yam." The yampi is apparently a form of D. alata. This and other forms of this species are grown in Fla. and La., for the excellent edible tubers, which compare favorably with the potato.
