Dear Asit,

If possible try to find a Jamaican grocery and ask for 'red co co', I will
be very interested to compare this to the ones being imported from Costa
Rica and Guatemala in Cen. America, which also have a red 'tinge' of color
but to a much lesser extent than the Jamaican 'red co co'. The Cen.
AMerican may be the 'malanga' lilac', and may be different from both the
Jamaican form/species/var., and from the 'malanga blanca'. I am certain
that in the long term all this growing information will prove invaluable to
Dr.Eduardo Goncalves in his research.
If 'push comes to shove' let me know and I will send you a couple 'red co
co' rhizomes.

Julius
