    • Dr. Francisco Hernández (1515-1587, King Phillip II's chief medical officer in the Spanish colonies in the New World 1570-1577, was the first trained scientist to gather ethnobotanical information directly from Aztec healers and to assess the medicinal usefulness of the natural resources found in the central area of Mexico. He described the nutritious properties and the manner of cultivation of cacamotli and mentioned four varieties named long ago on the basis of their skin and flesh colors: The root is sometimes red on the outside and white inside, and is called acamotli. If the outer skin is purple and the inner part white, it is called ihaicamotli. If the outside is white and the inside yellow with a reddish tinge, it is called xochicamotli. There are times when both the inside and the outside are red or completely white, and then it is called camocpalcamotli or po

There are times when both the inside and the outside are red or completely white, and then it is called "camocpalcamotli" or "poxcauhcamotli": names bestowed many centuries ago according to the variety of the colors." In contemporary Mexico and Brazil, there are four cultivated varieties recognized by their different skin colors: white, yellow, red, and purple. See: Hernández, F.

    • The awareness of the role played by the sweet potato in Europe was not properly appreciated until recently due partially to a linguistic confusion perpetuated by herbals. Whereas the native word batata and patata were used in Spanish to indicate the sweet potato and the common one, respectively, in English they were joined together under the word potato, which was used to indicate both species. Perhaps, the best known reference reinforcing this confusion comes from John Gerard's General History of Plants (1597, where he asserted an Andean origin to the sweet potato (Sisarum peruvianum) while claiming that the ordinary potato originated in the English colony of Virginia Battata virginiana, The potato that William Shakespeare mentions in the Merry Wives of Windsor is the sweet potato.

    • Sweet potatoes are currently believed to have been brought to Polynesia by sea from South America around 1000 B.C. Historical records indicate that sweet potatoes were introduced into India, Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines in the 16th century, reaching Fujian, mainland China in 1584. They first reached Japan at Miyakojima Island, in 1597. Asia accounts for 90% of the world production of 130 million tons, with China alone producing 86
