The Tacca leontopetaloides (Tacca leontopetaloides, a scientific name: Tacca leontopetaloides) is a kind of the yam department Tacca leontopetaloides genus. I was named for botanist, Yasusada Tashiro who introduced this plant from Taiwan to Japan.

Table of contents

Distribution

The Tacca leontopetaloides another name Polynesian arrowroot (Polynesian arrowroot) or East Indies arrowroot (say east indian arrowroot)^[2], and grow wild in the range to the northern part of Australia via Southeast Asia from the western part of Africa. I was brought into the Pacific Islands intentionally by early emigration of the human.

Distinction

An outstanding yellow leaf vein goes, and the back side of the leaf seems to glisten. The flower is purple tinged with the green and it is on the high stem in a group and blooms and touches the bract which snow fall, and went down it. The fruit is sap fruit. The most of one year crawl on the ground in a dormancy state. When time comes, a new leaf arises from an underground tuber. The tuber resembles a potato firmly, and the skin is brown, and the inside is white.

Use

The tuber includes a lot of starches, and it is in the valuable nourishment source of people living in low land in particular and the atoll of Pacific Islands. I grind a tuber and I dry it after washing it many times after dipping it into the fresh water, and having taken the bitterness and process it into wheat flour form. I mix it with a thing and the coconut cream which lost a taro and a bread tree, and something like pudding is made [³]. I am used to make a how peer in Hawaii, but often use cornstarch in substitution for Tacca leontopetaloides today.

The starch of the Tacca leontopetaloides may be used for reinforcement of the fiber. In addition, I process the fiber of the stem of the Tacca leontopetaloides into mat in some islands.

The tuber of the Tacca leontopetaloides may be used for treatment of the stomachache as Hawaiian traditional medicine. I mix water and red earth and may be spent for diarrhea and dysentery and stomach, treatment of the bleeding from colon.
