There may be a sweet form / subspecies / species that ought to be recognized. In which case some of the above botanical and common names may apply to it. Some authors place the sweet cassava under M. aipi and the bitter cassava under M. utilissima. Many countries recognize the two types and it seems wise to do so from the culinary and medicinal view points.  Taxonomists need to address this perhaps?


A number of the above names refer to the sago, a product manufactured from some species of palms Metroxylon rumphii Mart. & Metroxylon sagu Rottb. in particular, as well as some cycas such as  Cycas circinalis L. & Cycas revoluta Thunb.
