Default Re: **EXTREMELY RARE** Chinese potatoes

Do you have the scientific name for this plant? Or pictures? Or a link? I'm asking because I'm fighting air potatoes in my yard; they were introduced to FL in 1905 as a test agricultural crop since they are used for food in Africa and Asia.

They're an horribly invasive; just as the state has requested that residents kill Cuban tree frogs, they're asked that we not plant AP and work to eradicate them. From what I found about Chinese "potatoes" is that they're also in the family Dioscorea. Right or wrong?
