FIGURE 2

Example habitats and morphotypes (Colocasia esculenta and Colocasia formosana). Examples of wild and cultivated taros that display haplotypes in chloroplast Clades I–III. Left = habitat, right = morphology. Scale bar = 10 cm; (a, b) show specific plants tested; (c–e) show representative plants of cultivar or wild population tested. (a) Clade I, Type 1. C. esculenta var. aquatilis producing long stolons (commensal wild population at edge of wetland and settlement, northern Vietnam, sample CESVN05). Short stolon pieces in center illustrate a preparation step for eating as a wild vegetable. (b) Clade I, Type 1. C. esculenta var. esculenta producing large central corm (cultivar ex Cairo market, Egypt, sample CESJP02, in test cultivation). (c) Clade II. C. esculenta var. antiquorum producing abundant side‐corms (two cultivars, left, cv RR in house garden with house residents, Northland, New Zealand; right, cv Ishikawa‐wase, Kyoto, Japan; both are known triploids). (d) Clade III. C. esculenta var. aquatilis producing long stolons (wild population in rainforest, Queensland, Australia: left, at Isabella Falls; right, plant from bank of Russell River). (e) Clade III. C. formosana with young stolons (wild population in rainforest, vic. Banaue, Ifugao, Philippines)
