Elephant Foot yam (Amorphophallus_paeoniifolius)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A. campanulata

Elephant foot yam or Whitespot giant arum [1][2] or Stink lily, Amorphophallus paeoniifolius is a tropical tuber crop that offers excellent scope for adoption in the tropical countries as a cash crop due to its production potential and popularity as a vegetable in various delicious cuisines. Elephant foot yam is basically a crop from south east Asian origin. It grows in wild form in Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia and south eastern Asian countries.

However, in Tonga, teve was seen as the most inferior of all yam species, only to be eaten if really nothing else was available.
