From the far interior in the vicinity of the volcano Llima. "A potato 

 from the United States which by being cultivated in Chile has completely 

 changed its shape and flavor. These are sent as samples of what changes 

 may be made by transplanting from a distant part to another having 

 distinct and different conditions in climate, seasons, soil foods, etc. For 

 example, from seaward to remote inland; plain to mountain; and vice 

 versa." (Husbands.)

 to the worst wild varieties." (Husbands.)

 tuber of it." (Husbands.)
