The common potatoe varies much in the leaves, colour of the 
flowers, shape and colour of the roots, &c. 
The potatoe is called Pomme de Terre in France, Car- 
toffel in Germany, Pomo de Terra in Italy, Openauk in Caro- 
lina, and Papas in Peru. It has been found wild in Chili, 
on the mountains near Valparaiso and Mendosa ; and also 
near Lima, Quito, and Santa Fe de Bogota; and lately in 
Mexico, on the Pic d' Orizaba, by Deppe and Schiede. 
Sir Joseph Banks considers that the  potatoe was first 
brought into Europe from the mountainous parts in the 
neighbourhood of Quito, where they were called Papas, to 
Spain in the early part of the 16th century. From Spain, 
where they were called Batatas, they appear to have found 
their way first to Italy, where they received the same name with 
the truffle, Taratoufli. The potatoe was received by Clusius, 
at Vienna, in 1598, from the governor of Mons, in Hainault, 
who had procured it the year before from one of the attendants 
of the Pope's legate, under the name of Taratoufli, and learned 
from him that it was then in use in Italy. In Germany it 
received the name of Cartoffel, and spread even rapidly in the 
time of Clusius. To England the potatoe found its way by a 
different route, being brought from Virginia by the colonists 
sent out by Sir Walter Raleigh in 1584, and who returned in 
July, 1586, and “ probably," according to Sir Joseph Banks,
