Manihot, Manihotoides (Euphorbiaceae). Flora Neotropica (13) out of stock and how they were usedAll species of the genus Manihot (Euphorbiaceae) are native in the New World tropics and are frost sensitive. They are all rather sporadic in their distribution, never become dominant members of the local vegetation, and most are found in relatively dry regions. Manihot esculenta (Cassava) is a cultivated crop in most tropical areas. This treatment of Manihot and the related genus Manihotoides includes keys, descrptions, and photographic images.
