 which deserves to be called the Telinga Potatoe, is much cultivated in 

 the N. Circars and about Surat, and highly esteemed for the whole- 

 someness and nourishing quality of the roots. A very rich soil, repeat- 

 edly ploughed, suits it best. The small tuberosities found in the 

 large roots are employed for sets, and planted in the manner of pota- 

 toes. In twelve months they are reckoned fit to be taken up for use ; 

 the larger roots will then weigh from 4 — 8 or more pounds, and keep 

 well if preserved dry. The natives employ them for food in the man- 

 ner of the common yam. {Roxb.) In the Kainah Zilla, it is planted 

 in May, and yields from 100 — 250 maunds per beegah. It sells for 

 about a Rupee per maund. {Kirkland.)
