Samuel Johnson's Dictionary
Cassavi, Cassadanoun
An American plant.
It has a short spreading bell-shaped flower, consisting of one leaf, cut into several parts, whose pointal afterwards becomes a roundish fruit, composed of three cells joined together, each containing one oblong seed. To these notes should be added, male flowers having no pointal, and which, growing round the female flower, fall off, and are never fruitful. The species are six:
1. The common cassavi, or cassada.
2. The most prickly cassavi, with a chaste tree leaf.
3. Tree-like less prickly cassavi, with white flowers growing in umbels, and a stinging wolfsbane leaf.
4. Shrubby cassavi, without prickles, and smooth leaves, which are less divided, &c. The first sort is cultivated in all the warm parts of America, where the root, after being divested of its milky juice, is ground to flour, and then made into cakes of bread. Of this there are two sorts. The most common has purplish stalks, with the veins and leaves of a purplish colour; but the stalks of the other are green, and the leaves of a lighter green. The last sort is not venomous, even when the roots are fresh and full of juice; which the negroes frequently dig up, roast, and eat, like potatoes, without any ill effects. The cassada is propagated by cuttings, about fifteen or sixteen inches long, taken from those plants whose roots are grown to maturity. These cuttings are planted by the Americans in their rainy seasons, a foot or fourteen inches deep in the ground; and the land in which they are placed, must be well wrought. When the cuttings have taken root, they require no farther care than to be kept clear from weeds; and, in about eight or nine months, when grown to maturity, in good ground they will be as large as the calf of a man’s leg, but commonly equal to the size of good parsneps. Philip Miller.
