subterranean stems (corms, rhizomes, stem tubers) and unmodified
subterranean stem stolons, above ground swollen stems and
hypocotyls, storage roots (tap root, lateral roots, root tubers),
and bulbs, that are eaten as conventional or functional food as
vegetables and spices, as herbal teas, and may provide a source of

Iridaceae, Lamiaceae, Marantaceae, Nelumbonaceae, Nyctaginaceae,
Nymphaeaceae, Orchidaceae, Oxalidaceae, Piperaceae, Poaceae,

name and synonyms); common English and vernacular names; origin and
distribution; agro-ecological requirements; edible plant parts and
uses; plant botany; nutritive, medicinal and pharmacological
properties with up-to-date research findings; traditional medicinal
uses; other non-edible uses; and selected/cited references for
