A photo showing the natural habitat of Apios priceana – the “traveller’s delight”. The plants grow close to water sources and are opportunistic as they grow over shrubs and small trees in their scramble for light. Photo by Joseph Simcox. Selected sources of planting material The plant is endangered and insufficiently cultivated. Therefore, the majority of nurseries are unable to offer it and probably the best chances of acquiring it are genebanks and private sources.

The instructions offered below are very general but offer the advantage that the taste of the tuber will not be modified by other ingredients. Place the tubers in a pot with water and salt (according to taste) and boil, like a regular potato, until the tuber becomes tender. Serve as a side dish, with butter and herbs according to taste. The author, Joseph Simcox, proudly holding up a few pods and a leaf of Apios priceana. Mr. Simcox had searched for this plant for a number of years through academic and horticultural channels, but no one had any material. Finally he found it in nature. Photo by Joseph Simcox. Pagina 42
