| Gonella, M.P 2003-2006 | Small's Flora of the Southeastern U.S. (1903), Gleason and Cronquist (1991), and Coulter's Flowering Plants and Ferns of Indiana (1899) do not mention a 'sweet potato' or 'batate' in the index or within the potato family, but simply 'wild potato' for Ipomoea pandurata, which is a different, wild-occurring species. Ipomoea batata is a widely cultivated, commerically grown species, native to Central or South America. |
