It was supposed that the sense of former injury made him thus neglectful of his near lelatiuns in America. FROM THV A MBRTC. 4N D.iILT AbrERTIiER. -orb*- 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...
