Bananas grow wild in great varieties,
some of them reaching to three or four
times the size known to Us, and in such
profusion that they were commonly
used as fodder for animals Potatoes
also grow wild. These the Pasha de-
scribed as of three kinds: Some big as
a mans head but longer in shape.
others a great deal longer and mar
rover and attached to roots which
sometimes spread as far as twenty feet,
close under the surface of the ground;
when ripe they cracked the soil above
them and lay exposed to the air; the
third kind was our ordinary European
potato rs big as mans fist and very
mealy when boiled.

coffee in which cayenne pepper pods or
