Commentary
La Barre (1947) gives a description for the landrace of this name: pitu wayaqha, “flour bag”. Swett, highly farinaceous, reddish skin, superficial eyes, irregular oblong shape. Resists frost poorly; grown at 3,200 meters in the region of Ilabaya, which is hilly and temperate, and with a relatively rich soil. (Red skin, very starchy, with pulp.)
