notes:
The scientific name for manioc or cassava is Manihot esculenta. It is probably native to the Yucatan peninsula, and while its root is widely used as a food, it is poisonous unless correctly processed. Charles de Rochefort was pastor of the French Protestant Church at Rotterdam and resided for several years in the West Indies.
