Dioscorea cayenensis subsp. rotundata white yam , West African yam ,[1] Guinea yam , or white ñame , is a subspecies[2] of yam native to Africa . It is one of the most important cultivated yams.[3] Kokoro is one of its most important cultivars .
It is sometimes treated as separate species from Dioscorea cayenensis [1]
Domestication [ edit ]
Its wild progenitor is Dioscorea praehensilis [1] D. abyssinica [4] West Africa , along the south-facing Atlantic coast. There is insufficient documentation and as of 2009[update] [5]
Distribution [ edit ]
D. c. subsp. rotundata is grown in West Africa , including countries such as Ivory Coast , Ghana and Nigeria .[6]
Linguistics [ edit ]
Blench (2006) reconstructs the tentative Proto-Niger-Congo (i.e., the most recent common ancestor of the Niger-Congo languages ) root -ku for D. rotundata .[1]
