I wish to see the Lufra Kiver, but I must see Bemba or Bangweolo.

Grant guidance from above! _2nd June, 1868._--In passing a field of cassava I picked the pods of a plant called Malumbi, which climbs up the cassava bushes; at the root it has a number of tubers with eyes, exactly like the potato.

One plant had sixteen of these tubers, each about 2 inches long and 1-1/2 inch in diameter: another tuber was 5 inches long and 2 in diameter, it would be difficult for anyone to distinguish them from English potatoes.

When boiled they are a little waxy, and, compared with our potato, hard.

There are colours inside, the outer part reddish, the inner whiter.
