Solanum tuberosum L.

Solanum sinense Blanco
Note: [Information from an additional label associated with the sheet:] This species that Blanco described in the first edition of his Flora de Filipinas as a new species, Solanum sinense, he correctly reduced in the second edition of the same work to Solanum tuberosum Linn. His specific name sinense was derived from the fact that the plant was a native of China, or at least was introduced into the Philippines from China. The potato thrives in the Philippines only at medium and higher altitudes and is grown successfully in various parts of the Mountain Province, Luzon. The tubers, however, are small in size and inferior in quality."
