D. pentaphylla L. (Lasiophyton): This is a highly polymorphic species with numerous cultivars. In Melanesia, it is widespread and important, especially in times of scarcity. It is also cultivated in Indonesia. The tubers are not toxic. (Lebot, V. and Dulloo E. 2021. Global strategy for the conservation and use of yam genetic resources. Global Crop Diversity Trust, Bonn, Germany. https://www.croptrust.org/fileadmin/uploads/croptrust/Documents/Ex_Situ_Conservation_Strategies/Yams_Conservation_Strategy_2021.pdf)
D. rotundata Poir. (Enantiophyllum): The tubers are produced in pairs or in small groups of four or five and have a long dormancy period of up to five months. Tuber shapes vary, but the flesh of the white Guinea yam does not vary much in color. The tuber skin is dark and smooth and nearly free of rootlets. Cultivars are grouped into double-harvest or early-maturing yams and single-harvest or late-maturing yams. (Lebot, V. and Dulloo E. 2021.

D. trifida L. (Macrogynodium): Numerous cultivars exist, with tuber flesh varying from white to yellow, pink and purple. All have a pleasant aroma and highly appreciated taste. This species originates from northern Latin America (probably in the Guianas) and is very popular in the West Indies (it is called cousse couche in Guadeloupe). (Lebot, V. and Dulloo E. 2021.

A premix or preliminary mix is a uniform mixture of vitamins and minerals (alone or together) and other ingredients (preservatives, antioxidants), which is included in a formulated diet in very small quantities. Premixes are used to facilitate uniform dispersion of microingredients in a larger mix. (Anonymous (1998) AQUALEX.
