 " This common vegetable is a native of the Andes in South America, where 

 it is cultivated between 5,000 and 7,000 feet altitude. It is a low parsniplike 

 plant, producing large edible starchy carrot-shaped roots, the flavour of which 

 has been compared to a combination of parsnip and potato. The plant will thrive 

 in any good soil and is adapted only to the higher elevations, say from 4,500 

 to 6,000 feet. It is commonly cultivated as a vegetable at Bogota in Colombia 

 up to 8,000 feet elevation." (H. F. MacMillan, Handbook of Tropical Garden-
