The merchants who trade to
Carracas and other parts of the
Spanish Main, are requested to
endeavour to introduce in.o this
country, a very valuable South-
American plant ; an account of
which, was given by Mr. Vargas,
in Lon lon, and published in the
Annals of Motatv , Mo. 2, p. 400.
The populat name in South Ame
rica is Anacacha, and it is one
oi the most useful plants in that
country. Outer Umbelliferoe ;
in its habits it resembles an
Apium, and therefore sometimes
called Apio. Its stalk generally
divides from the upper part of
ihe root into several stems, thick
ly beset wiih large orbicular
tave&gashed into several sinuses
and supported by large tubular
petioles, exceeding a goose quill
in thickness. The roots imme
diately divide into lour or hve
branches, and each of these, if
ihe soil be I'gtn snd the wcatuer
lavorable, will grow to the size,
and have nearly the shape of a
large cow’s h >rn. ihe root
yields a food which is prepaied
m the kitchens in the same man
ner as potatoes. It is extremely
grateful to the palate, more close
than mealv ;it i so tender that
it requires little cooking, and so
easy of digestion, that it is the
common practice of the-eountrv
to give it to convalescents,’and
oersons with weak stomachs, be
ing thought much less flatulent
than potatoes. Os its fecula is
*tarch,St a variety of pastry work
made; reduced to a pulp this root
also enters into the composition
of certain fermented liquors, sup
posed to be very proper to restore
the lost tone of the stomach. In
the city of Santa.Fe, and indeed
in all the places in the kingdom,
where they can obtain the Ar
racacha, they are of full as uni
versal use as the potatoes are in
England. Its cultivation requires
a deep black mould, that will ea
sily yield to the descent of the
large vertical roots. It is propa
gated bv cutting the root in pie
ces, each having an eye or shoot,
and by planting these in separate
holes. After 3or 4* months, the
roots are of sufficient size &
q tantity to be used for culinary
purposes ; bat if suffered to re
main 6 months in the ground,they
will often acquire an immense
size, without any detriment to
their taste. The color of the root
is ei her white, yellow or purple,
but alt are of the same’quality.—
1 ue most esteemed those of
Laparon, about 10 leagues norm
of the capitals Santa - Fc.) Like
the putatoe, it docs not thrive in
tiic hotter regions of the kingdom
for there the roots do not acquire
ativ i/.e, hul throw up a greater
number of stems, or at beat they
will bv !>uc small and of indilfcr,
cut flavor—lt thrives best in the
elevated regions of the mountains
where the medium heat is be
tween 58 and 60 degrees of
I*ahrenneit’s scale; here it is
that these roots grow most luxu
riantly, and acquire the most
delicious taste. Mr. Vargas be
lieves it peculiar to the province
°f Carraccas and kingdom of
Santa Fe as he has met with it in
1,0 other part of America where
he has beta,nor is it spoken of bv
aR y other writer on America,
except by Alcedo, who mentions
it in a few Words at the end of
Dictiotiario Geograpico Histori
co de las.lndian Occident les o
America. It is indeed surpri
sing, that such an useful vegeta
ble should not vet have found a
wii.er to make us acquainted
with its history, or a sir Walter
Raleigh, to convey it as a valu
able present to other regions, at
it might easily be conveyed by
seeds or r00t...
