| Tubers are about 10cm diameter and just under 50gm in weight. These are
| naturally covered in tiny oxalate crystals which repel and kill insects
and
| wildlife, hence the latin name, the crystals may also irritate sensitive
| human skins, so wash you hands after handling them and be warned that the
| tubers, in common with most aroids, (Arum, Biarum, Arisaema etc) are
| poisonous if eaten.
