They are smooth, dark grayish-brown, and at a distance of a few feet are likely to be mistaken for the Irish potato. The skin is very thin and tough, and may, after being broken, be pulled off in strips resembling thin pieces of cherry bark. The interior of the root is over 23 per cent starch.

Pàgina 8 - North Island. It is often called the New Zealand oak, on account of the strength and durability of its wood, which is not injured by damp or exposure and is therefore extremely valuable for shipbuilding purposes.

Pàgina 6 - ... root is over 23 per cent starch. It is white, brittle, and firm, and practically free from fiber when not allowed to remain too long in the soil. However, roots which are left in the soil until late in the winter sometimes have a few long and rather strong, longitudinal fibers. When cooked the roots are fine-grained, tender, and sweeter in flavor than most other varieties. Since the small yams develop in the surface soil and are not hindered by a compact subsoil, the Potato variety thrives best...

The edible roots develop near the crown of the plant much the same as sweet potatoes. They are oval and vary up to 8 inches in length, and 2J inches in diameter. As they are small and not easily injured, these roots can usually be kept longer after being harvested than the large-rooted kinds. They are smooth, dark grayish-brown, and at...

The roots of the puriri never penetrate deeply into the ground, but lie near the surface, so that the tree is easily blown over in a gale of wind. It is endemic in New Zealand and is restricted to the northern part of the North Island. It is easily cultivated and flowers more or less all the year round.
