All of these plants common or indigenous names can be found on google. Taro is a common name usually reserved only for colocasia esculenta as it is edible, but when it comes to common names, local indigenous people often refer to most any elephant ear type as a Taro. Yuca is the only one besides the eddo and taro that is grown also as a decorative plant. There is a very beautiful variety of variegated Yuca, but I doubt you would ever find this in a grocery store. The other 2 yams or pototo types are just vines and not very interesting as ornamentals.
