| Abstract: | The major reserve compounds of tubers (starch, soluble carbohydrates, proteins and non-soluble fibers) of five native Dioscorea species are analyzed with a view to their economic importance (for the staple food and pharmaceutical industries); distribution, phenology and germination are also investigated. Twenty-six native species and the cultivated edible exotics are listed, with phenological characteristics, popular name, habitat, popular medicinal importance and distribution. |
