The official definition of {samcu} is any of three different plants:
Taro (Colocasia) is in the arum family.
Manioc (Manihot) is in the spurge family (as is the poinsettia).
Yam (Dioscorea) is in the yam family.
Which of these, if any, is the default meaning of {samcu}? What are the names 
of the others? What about the sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas, in the morning 
glory genus) and the Jerusalem artichoke (which is in the taxonomy chart as 
{solxrula patlu}, but I may be wrong)?
