A T-POUND CORM OF THE PENANG TARO. 
This corm is larger and somewhat more elongated than usual, but otherwise is typical of the 
variety. The Penang taro is dry and very mealy when cooked and has a distinctively de- 
licious aroma and flavor. It produces but few lateral tubers of edible size. The uncooked 
corm and tubers are acrid. (P14095FS.)
